Eight clinics across five states had similar experiences over a single week: a young man came in looking for treatment for an STD. At some point while being helped by Planned Parenthood staff, he mentioned that he ran a sex-trafficking ring with underage girls and illegal immigrants. Planned Parenthood reported the visits to the Justice Department. It thinks the culprit is connected to Live Action—an anti-abortion organization that's used hidden cameras against Planned Parenthood previously. The group is run by an associate of James O'Keefe, the "pimp" in the ACORN hoax, notes TPM. Read These Next Cops questioned Mountbatten-Windsor for almost 12 hours.
