How is that with all the claims that so many are forced into prostitution, I hear so very very few of such cases like this one:

Woman allegedly forced into prostitution
By Rob Lamberti, QMI Agency
TORONTO — Two young men are accused of using fear, intimidation and violence to force a 30-year-old woman to work as a prostitute for them.
But she overcame the terror and when she had a moment alone, she called for help.
Toronto Police say they've got two suspects in custody and are now focusing their efforts in identifying a third while trying to determine if there are any other women victimized by the pack of pimps.
Detectives filed 22 charges related to pimping, firearms and drugs.
The victim was rescued Tuesday from a hotel room when she was able to call a friend, who in turn contacted police.
"They left her unattended and she took the opportunity to call a friend," said Toronto Det. Jason Leitch. "The allegations she made were pretty alarming."
Officers took her from the hotel and then waited for the suspects to appear.
"They were hoping because of the threats they made ... she would just remain compliant and stay there, but she was scared for her safety and her family's safety," he said.
"There's definitely a concern there may be other girls out there."
The suspects used websites to advertise their prostitution service, Leitch said.
All of the money earned by the victim was taken from her, he said.
The victim was being pimped for about two weeks before police rescued her.
Police recovered a firearm with an altered serial number and ammunition in a vehicle and some cocaine.
Charged are Courtney Reece, 19, and Nigel Sobers, 20, both of Toronto.
A third suspect is described as being a male Hispanic, between 20 and 25, about 5-foot-10 with an unshaven appearance.
Surely to God, most women are not so weak, stupid or passive that they can't pick up the phone and call the cops for help in a "forced into prostitution" type situation like the woman in the above story. Heck, the cops even responded and arrested the fuckers who did this to her.
Or am I missing something?
Granted, women that are trafficked in from other countries may not be in such a position, but homegrown Canuck women? Even young girls, I think, many of them would know to call the cops or call for help. Or am I dreaming in technicolor and most 12-17 year old females really are drooling idiots and hide it really well? This despite the fact that I regularly hear about school kids who were subjected to an attempted pick up by strangers and called for help from teachers, parents, other kids etc.
Am I really that dense?
