Sex/human trafficking is very often brought up as a possibility whenever women or children mysteriously disappear, so I was wondering if there are any examples of solved disappearance cases in which it actually happened.
If I recall correctly, there was a case of a South American woman (maybe Argentinian?) who disappeared and, after a while, there was strong evidence to point out that she was trafficked - I don't think she was ever able to return home though (if you know what case is this, please leave in the comments :)).
I don't have a write up or a link to any specific case, but as per this subreddit rules, here's a link for the official website for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, for donations, tips and any other kind of helpful information: http://www.missingkids.com/
Edit: the Argentinian case I was talking about is Marita Verón, who disappeared in 2002 and is widely believed to have been a victim of sex trafficking.
and just because it's myth, does that make it not true??
Why does he request the cuts in the first place?
Also, why keep asking for the same cut even though he (probably) knows he won't get it? I am 99% sure he just uses it as a bargaining chip for something he really wants to cut, but not entirely sure. What are your thoughts?

TL;DR: Virtually nothing was mentioned about the scandal. There were no higher ups at the sacrament meeting; the stake president was the highest ranking Mormon in the room. The second hour was cancelled. If you knew nothing beforehand about Bishop Moss's interest in pimping out prostitutes, you would have walked away from the meeting as clueless as you were at the beginning.
FULL REPORT:
My wife and I have quietly been out of the church for about two years. We live in American Fork, so we decided to hop over to the Lehi Mill Pond Ward today to observe how the church handles these kinds of situations. Boy, were we disappointed!
The meeting began with some announcements, including two relevant to this report: 1) Don't record the meeting. 2) The second hour was cancelled. (Side note: I don't know how I ever did three hours of church. Mormon church services have to be the most boring activity on the planet! Thank God the second hour was cancelled.)
We sang a song and some guy delivered the prayer. During the prayer, he referenced this being a "somber time." He made no other references to the scandal.
After a few more announcements, the stake president stood up. He began by saying, "Due to some personal circumstances, it is necessary to release Bishop Moss from his calling as bishop. Those in favor, please manifest by the uplifted hand." He then released the first and second counselors and asked for everyone to express thanks to those two men. I found it interesting that Moss was not thanked, but his counselors were. The old first counselor was then called as the new bishop, and the old second counselor was called as the new first counselor.
Next, we sang another song and a blessing was said on the sacrament. (The sacrament was passed around for the next 18 minutes, but it felt like it took an hour. I almost fell asleep.)
Finally, we got to the four talks, which were all very short.
The new second counselor spoke first. He referenced the importance of forgiveness. He spoke about God's love for us and how we should comfort our neighbors. He ended by making the claim that he knew the Lord had called the new bishop.
The new first counselor spoke next. He also spoke about comforting our neighbors, and he said that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit also heal and comfort us. He too concluded by saying that he has a "witness"
