Sex Trafficking – An Online Epidemic

Sex trafficking is almost always brought up in reference to third-world countries, but in reality human sex trafficking crossed our borders long ago. There are 300,000 U.S. teens becoming victims every year, and less than 1 percent of them are identified.

There are over 21 million victims worldwide, that is more than the combined population of New York and Hawaii.
