Comment from the contributor:

The New York Times --
 
Nicholas D. Krisoff goes to Cambodia to find out about the business of buying and selling girls in the Poipet, Cambodia. In the past young girls were bought for $2 each time they were with a man. This was done over and over until the girls died from AIDS. Cambodia has been cracking down but brothels do still exist. They are not as lucrative as the used to be.
