In Brazil, while acting as a pimp or owning a brothel is against the law, selling sex for money is perfectly legal. Except when the prostitutes are children, as many girls and cross-dressing boys are.

Johns flying in from other countries target children not just because these men are pedophiles — but because minors are less expensive. "They are underage, so much cheaper than the older ones," one taxi driver who works with prostitutes tells the BBC's Chris Rogers, who traveled to Brazil to look at the illegal sex trade. And it's not just little girls being preyed on, but boys dressed as girls. And their families are keenly aware of what's going on.
