sex-slave - Clarification of "flattering"

Ok, I agree with you, being recruited as a sex-slave isn't flattering. I suppose even this lawyer of the Saudi family may have had nasty tricks up his sleeve. All the same, they do have a line, many of them educated in this country with various degrees from prestigious universities.

That's where naive women get tripped up---they see the Westernized version of these men, merely a facade to hide their real agendas.

I know some of the stories of women who have left their countries because some wealthy Arab promised them a life of luxury, when all the while these predators are planning their imprisonment. It's very unfortunate, though, that there isn't more that can be done to bring these cases out into the open, make this sex-slave trade more public. There are so many people who don't believe that this exists in the 21st Century but it does.
