Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. 1, 2 One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. 3 Only one in 50 women who have been raped reports the crime to the police.4
Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women.

Combating Human Trafficking in the USA and investigating it RightByron Olivere
Investigating Sex Human Trafficking and Knowing the Signs. Many Human Trafficking Investigators interview children that are victim of human trafficking. This is a huge mistake. While many investigators are great at interviewing, they are not certified to interview children and especially when it comes to sex crimes. Investigators should use certified forensic child interviewers. Also, if the case goes to court, the investigator does not have to testify on the forensic interview. The forensic interviewer is certified and an expert at testifying in court. I have seen to many trafficking cases go bad due to an investigator believing they can do everything in a trafficking case. If human trafficking investigators want a slam dunk case, it is very important to use a forensic child interviewer. You do not want to get on the stand and be crushed by defense on the interview you conducted on the child. Defense will throw questions at you with words that you do not know or understand.

ET An Introduction to Human
Trafficking in the United States
H uman trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons or modern-day slavery, is a crime that involves the exploitation of a person for the purpose of compelled labor or a commercial sex act. While the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) has long enforced criminal laws against involun-
tary servitude and slavery, the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act (TVPA) of 2000 brought new benefits, services, and criminal penalties to
address human trafficking in a more comprehensive and effective way.
What Is Human
Trafficking?
The TVPA defines a “severe form of trafficking
in persons” as—
• Sex trafficking (the recruitment,
harboring, transportation, provision,
obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a
person for the purpose of a commercial
sex act) in which a commercial sex act is
induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in
which the person induced to perform such
act has not attained 18 years of age; or
• The recruitment, harboring, transportation,
provision, or obtaining of a person for labor
or services, through the use of force, fraud,
or coercion for the purpose of subjection
to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt
bondage, or slavery.
Who Are the
Victims of Human
Trafficking?
Anyone who is compelled (through force, fraud,
or coercion) to perform any kind of work or
commercial sex act by another person, and
any minor engaged in a commercial sex act, is
a human trafficking victim. Victims of human
trafficking come from all walks of life and are
entrapped in many different settings. Anyone
can be a victim, regardless of their race, color,
national origin, disability, religion, age, gender,
sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeco-
nomic status, or citizenship status. While there
is no defining characteristic that all victims
share, traffickers frequently prey on individuals
who are poor, vulnerable, living in an unsafe
situation, or are in search of a better life. These
victims are deceived by false promises of love,
a good job, or a stable life and are lured into
situations where they are forced to work under
deplorable conditions with little to no pay.
Whether made to work in agriculture, a factory,
or a strip club, forced into commercial sex,
or abused in a home as a domestic servant,
federal law recognizes these individuals as
victims of human trafficking.
Who Are the
Traffickers and
How Do They Trap
Victims?
Traffickers are similarly diverse. There are
traffickers working alone to deceive and prey on
victims; businesses that enslave their workers;

A victim under the age of 18 is considered a
victim of sex trafficking, regardless of the
presence of force, fraud or coercion.
An agency, pimp, or other controller
typically arranges appointments, and may
monitor the escort and take some or all of
the earnings.
"The ICE-led investigation began in November 2008, after a 14-year-old victim
of the escort service run by Pierre was rescued in Fort Lauderdale. Subsequently,
another 16-year-old victim of Pierre's escort service was discovered. Pierre
operated a prostitution ring disguised as an escort service from his Ft.
Lauderdale residence."
- 2009 ICE Press Release
Escort services or agencies are one venue throughwhichvictims of
sex traffickingmay be forcedto provide commercial sex. This
includes “out-call” services where the individual goes to the location
of the "john," or “in-call” services where the "john" comes to the
individual's location. Anagency, pimp, or other controller typically
arranges appointments, andmay monitor the victimandtake some
or all of the earnings. Escorts are typically female, thoughsome are
male. They may be adults or minors, U.S. citizens or immigrants.
Escort services are commonly advertisedonline throughspecific
escort websites as well as general sites suchas backpage.comand
other media.

Intersections with Other Sex Trafficking Networks
Latino Residential Brothels and Latino Escort "Delivery" Services–Anescort “delivery”
service model is closely relatedto the operationof residential brothels. A brothel might convert into
anescort service if asingle residential locationbecomes knownor targetedby lawenforcement. Inthe
“outcall” or escort service model, the womenare “delivered” to abuyer’s house, apartment, or hotel
room, insteadof the buyers goingto acentralizedlocation.
Pimp-Controlled Sex Trafficking–Pimps sometimes use anescort service model to facilitate
commercial sex. Inadditionto providingcommercial sex throughescort arrangements, victims are
commonly requiredto provide commercial sex viastreet tracks , truck stops andother settings.
Regardless of the venue, victims are requiredto meet daily quotas andto handover all earnings to
their pimp.
