What was said

""the violence associated with that has revealed that the biggest consumer of child exploitation is people from the United States.""

While discussing anti-trafficking work and a UN event in Vienna, former DEA agent Steve Murphy says he was disappointed by some country representatives’ behaviour during NGO presentations. He then alleges that ‘the biggest consumer of child exploitation is people from the United States’, and argues for harsher penalties for offenders, including life sentences.
