The Bill of Rights doesn't distinguish rights between an adult, child, sexual orientation, race, etc. Those are as you say should be universal.

I specifically mentioned children because that's the case here. The same may not be as universal when it comes to people of different races, genders, or creeds. For example, it's still okay to kill a woman for being unfaithful in some places. Those same places ban murdering children, though.

My point is that the people specifically mentioned, the traffickers of child sex slavery and their customers, are almost certainly aware that what they are doing is wrong, and thus we would not be forcing morality on them if we were to try and stop them.
You point seems to be that you think they believe they are right. I strongly disagree.
