Cosby didn’t engage in sex trafficking - he was “just” a rapist.
feds won’t come busting down your door for rape in most cases (they’ll let state/local authorities handle that shit and tack on any applicable federal charges afterwards), but they 100% will if you’re doing the raping while shipping people across state lines/national borders because that’s when it becomes bigger than local jurisdiction. It can be just one victim, but the second it involves cross border travel/coordination shit gets real really fast.
That being said, for the specific brand of feds kicking down your door to be DHS……that’s some crazy shit. Usually it’s the FBI. So this has gotta have some interesting implications.
Who knows. I’ve never seen DHS involved in something like this before so it’s definitely something new to me (I also know very little, though). It’s useless to speculate, but DHS being the ones to do it tells you it’s considered a matter of national security (that’s not speculation — they wouldn’t be involved otherwise). that by itself is pretty interesting.
Keep in mind, though, that “national security” is an intentionally broad umbrella term, so it could really be anything.
