DEFINITION

Sex trafficking is a form of modern slavery that exists throughout the United States and globally. Sex traffickers use violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will. Under U.S. federal law, any minor under the age of 18 years induced into commercial sex is a victim of sex trafficking—regardless of whether or not the trafficker used force, fraud, or coercion. 

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN

The situations that sex trafficking victims face vary dramatically. Many victims become romantically involved with someone who then forces or manipulates them into prostitution. Others are lured in with false promises of a job, such as modeling or dancing. Some are forced to sell sex by their parents or other family members. They may be involved in a trafficking situation for a few days or weeks, or may remain in the same trafficking situation for years. 

 

Victims of sex trafficking can be U.S. citizens, foreign nationals, women, men, children, and LGBTQ individuals. Vulnerable populations are frequently targeted by traffickers, including runaway and homeless youth, as well as victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, war, or social discrimination. Sex trafficking occurs in a range of venues including fake massage businesses, via online ads or escort services, in residential brothels, on the street or at truck stops, or at hotels and motels

TYPES OF TRAFFICKING

1. Gang: A group of people who create false community and impose rules, structure, and loyalty to build a sex enterprise. 

 

2. Pimp (trafficker): An individual who creates what appears as a safe relationship to an individual. He or she then uses this relationship to compel victims into providing commercial sex acts. Force, fraud, or manipulation will always be involved. 

3. Familial: Family members involved in selling and profiting from sexually exploiting other family members. 

4. Survival Sex: Exchanging one’s body for basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter.
