I think you’re talking about the film “Glory Daze: The Life and Times of Michael Alig” and the associated Club Kids scene. Folks may also recall the film “Party Monster” about the same guy.
I’m somewhat familiar with the Club Kid scene and while they were often young and often used drugs, I’m not convinced of the sex trafficking scheme that your post seems to imply. Do you have any references, if that is your claim?
No press sources, just kids in that scene from back then. In a small cohort of goth kids in the region in the mid 90’s, I knew several. They’d disappear down allegedly to NYC for that shit, I have no firsthand experience, I’ve always had a Bart Simpson belly and wasn’t a mid-90’s sexy twink so I was an observer from afar of the scene. It’s also kind of unfair to describe it as “trafficking” to some extent, not to defend 40yo bankers banging 14yos, it was “cool” like… Have you ever read the OG Gossip Girl books the show was based on? I have not but it seems to be the manhattanite experience of that scene
