U.S. warns Germany about prostitution dangers at World Cup soccer tournament!

The United States chided Germany on Monday over legalized prostitution that the U.S. says could endanger women lured or forced to the host country for this month’s soccer World Cup. Worldwide, the State Department reported few successes in efforts to slow what Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called a "sordid trade in human beings."

"Human trafficking is an illicit industry of coercion, subjugating and exploiting the world’s most vulnerable people for profit and personal gain," Rice said in releasing an annual accounting of a modern-day slave trade in prostitutes, child sex workers and forced labourers.
