America’s Dirty Little Secret: Sex Trafficking of Young Girls

America’s Dirty Little Secret: Sex Trafficking of Young Girls

 

 Sex trafficking—especially when it comes to the buying and selling of
young girls—has become big business in America, the fastest growing
business in organized crime and the second-most-lucrative commodity
traded illegally after drugs and guns.

 Mebers of the industry group Club Owners Against Sex Trafficking sit for a talk given by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security agent teaching owners of strip clubs and strippers how to spot sex traffickers, at the Burbank Community Services Building in Burbank, Calif. A year-long academic study of sex trafficking in Las Vegas is providing a glimpse at a shadowy world behind the neon where underage girls threatened by pimps solicit for business in casinos, on streets and online.
