CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING

Child sex trafficking is the buying and selling of children (under age 18) for the purpose of sexual services. It is also known as Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. Based on federal law (TVPA) no force, fraud, or coercion is needed to prove child sex trafficking. If a child is engaged in a commercial sex act, it is child sex trafficking.
