It doesn't help that there doesn't seem to be a consistent definition of what "trafficking" means.
Pretty much all of Eastern Europe (except parts of what was once Yugoslavia etc) is in the EU now, and girls from there are here quite legally, they are not illegal immigrants (though they may or may not have paid an English-speaking fixer/pimp to sort out hotel bookings etc). Those from further afield (e.g. Thailand) may well be illegal immigrants, who have paid rather more to be smuggled in, but that still doesn't make them "coerced", the vast majority of them are here voluntarily.
Police investigations keep failing to find cases of forced prostitution, because it simply does not exist on any significant scale. Generally, where a case comes up, it's someone being "passed around" within a tightly-knit immigrant community, not someone made available to the general public.
