SEX TRAFFICKING IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Every day, children across our country are being manipulated and sold for sex by sophisticated criminals:
- According to the Polaris Project, Texas has the country’s second highest level of reported domestic minor sex trafficking in the country.
- The Polaris Project and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) have data that indicate this crime is on the rise.
- Research shows that youth trafficked for sex typically survive an average of only 7 years due to the high level of trauma they experience.
- The average age of a person trafficked for sex is only 15 years.
