I'm not sure if you're joking or if you actually expect someone to introduce you to a trafficking victim so that you can determine if they're lying?
That's how scholarship works.
Yes, I have met what you call "slave owners"
Ah, the old allegation supported by secret evidence! That's the most feministy kind of allegation!
How many billions? U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., described child sex trafficking in the United States as a $9.8 billion business and Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., called domestic human trafficking a $9.5 billion business. The number discrepancy caught the attention of The Washington Post. A few weeks later, the Post’s fact-checker awarded four Pinocchios (its worst truth rating) to both statements.
The State Department knows! When asked about Wagner’s quoted figure, spokeswoman Moira Bagley Smith cited the 2006 State Department Trafficking in Persons report, which notes, “According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, human trafficking generates an estimated $9.5 billion in annual revenue.” But that figure encompasses all forms of human trafficking worldwide, not just sex trafficking in the Unites States. And after checking their files, FBI officials say they have no record of having produced that figure.
In October, 2009, the biggest ever investigation of sex trafficking failed to find a single person who had forced anybody into prostitution in spite of hundreds of raids on sex workers in a six-month campaign by government departments, specialist agencies and every police force in the country. The failure has been disclosed by a Guardian investigation which also suggests that the scale of and nature of sex trafficking into the UK has been exaggerated by politicians and media.

We found 71 possible victims. Let's round that number off to 25,000! www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/oct/20/trafficking-numbers-women-exaggerated
The Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire records and debunks estimates of the number of child prostitutes in the US ranging from 1400 to 2.4 million. That's right. By one estimate, about one out of every thirty children zero to 17 years old, male and female, in the entire US is a prostitute. Why isn't it obvious that this is bullshit?

Let's count all the children who viewed pornography and code them as sex slaves! www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/oct/20/trafficking-numbers-women-exaggerated
It's not trafficking that's a multi billion dollar business, it's the fake crises. That's where the money is. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/22/AR2007092201401.html
When professional auditors examine the raw data, 1000 victims become FOUR. m.ajc.com/news/news/despite-millions-spent-human-traffickings-scope-is/nTjRn/
Would you like a thousand more sources? Would that make it more obvious?
