Yeah, but it's still not rape, though more gruesome in a lot of ways, granted. The details of the scheme haven't been revealed, but later this guy talks about using children because his client pays by the person, therefor he gets paid more for less of whatever product they're smuggling inside the bodies. The other kid ends up with a scar on his chest from the same procedure.
I can understand not getting into it, though. The characters are definitely ones you either can't stand, or get really interested in.
