Let's not forget that similar crimes have happened in the Lebanon area in the recent past. It's more than just a couple of sick creeps. Unfortunately, some in the community thought it was a victimless crime. Very sad. Maybe now some folks will realize sex trafficking is a crime and it's victims are groomed and controlled in many ways not easily recognized by others.

Lebanon Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Coercing a Minor to Become a Sex Slave
"On Jan. 15, 2013, Bagley pleaded guilty to enticing a minor into illegal sexual conduct and prostitution. Bagley met the female victim (identified in court documents as FV) in 2002, when she was 16 years old and dating his teenage son. FV visited his trailer residence in Lebanon on numerous occasions. During FV’s visits to Bagley’s residence, he showed her images and videos of pornography on the Internet and downloaded from the Internet, including images and videos of bondage and sadomasochistic conduct. Bagley admitted that he provided FV with controlled substances. He taught her about bondage and sadomasochistic activities. His wife, co-defendant Marilyn Bagley, 48, modeled stripper and bondage clothing for FV. The Bagleys told FV that she would love being a “slave” for him. Bagley began a sexual relationship with FV prior to her seventeenth birthday."Bagley did the same thing - trafficked pictures of the teen girl in BDSM activities over the internet. People even paid money to visit their home for sexual activities with her.
She was lucky to survive her torture, but sadly, some local residents thought it was consensual. That's probably why no one noticed it was happening again in the community.
A Missouri town's doubts about a sex torture case
I was thinking this today after reading this link so thank you. Perhaps the town will work together to come together to prevent this again. Enough angry and frustrated citizens can help facilitate change...
