He is talking about child prostitution Frank , not women.

Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative
Division, speaks during a news conference at the FBI headquarters in
Washington about "Operation Cross Country" on July 29, 2013.
The FBI announced on Monday that it had arrested 150 suspected pimps
and rescued 105 alleged victims in a three-day nationwide sting
focusing on child prostitution.
Federal officials worked alongside state and local law enforcement
authorities in 76 cities to carry out "Operation Cross Country," which
it says is the largest such enforcement ever under the bureau's
Innocence Lost National Initiative.
"Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across
America," said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal
Investigative Division, in a statement. "This operation serves as a
reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the
FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and
holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable,"
Hosko added.
Since the initiative's creation in 2003, authorities have identified
and recovered more than 2,700 alleged victims of underage sexual
exploitation.
The youngest of the alleged victims was 9 years old, Reuters reported.
The most juveniles were recovered in San Francisco, Detroit and
Milwaukee. Twelve alleged victims were recovered in San Francisco,
while 10 were each rescued in Detroit and Milwaukee.
Detroit and San Francisco also topped the list for the highest numbers
of alleged pimps in those cities, at 18 and 17 arrests in each city
respectively. Washington, D.C. was the only city in which authorities
did not recover an alleged victim or arrest a suspect.

"Operation Cross Country demonstrates just how many of America's
children are being sold for sex every day, many on the Internet," said
John Ryan, CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children, in a statement. The organization worked with the FBI on the
operation.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agency announced that it had arrested 255 suspected child predators
and rescued 61 alleged victims during a five-week operation to combat
the online sexual exploitation of children.
The agency announced on July 15 that the alleged offenders face
charges ranging from online sexual enticement of a minor, to child
pornography production and traveling with the intent to have sex with
a minor
