Some 17,000 minors in Mexico are victims of the sex trade, according to a study by researcher Elena Azaola, published in 2004. Azaola's research included visits to the establishments where these children and teenagers are forced to engage in prostitution and interviews with some of those who have managed to escape.

"I hope that my case will represent a watershed," marking the end of government apathy in the face of child sexual exploitation and the beginning of decisive action against this crime, said Cacho.
