Kristoff’s brothel girls

Ever wonder what happened to the two girls Nick Kristof bought out of the brothels in Poipet? The Seattle Times recently asked him.

What happened to the girls he bought out of slavery five years ago? Kristoff said he stayed in touch and still visits them. One is married to a good husband who doesn’t know her past. The other went back to the brothel temporarily to feed her meth addiction, and later married a police officer. But now the brothel no longer exists. U.S. government pressure on Cambodia to crack down on trafficking made it risky and expensive, so the proprietor turned it into a grocery store.

Good news on all counts.
