A sex trafficking survivor had been sold for sexual abuse to approximately 200 men prior to her rescue. Her trafficker was imprisoned and the young girl was freed from her captors. But something crucial was missing. “What about the 200 unsolved rapes?”.

So why was there no accountability for the 200 men who raped this sex trafficked minor?. The truth is, without these men, no abuse would have occurred. And this is true of all sex trafficking and prostitution. #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth .

Although this girl’s trafficker was in jail, no thought had been given to prosecute the 200 men who had paid to sexually abuse her. This girl did not – and could not, being a minor – consent to sexual contact with these men. Nonconsensual sex is rape.

Sex trafficking exists because of the demand for paid sex. Without the men who believe they have a right to purchase access to a person’s body, there would be no economic incentive for sex traffickers to fill that demand.

Sex buyers are the root cause of sex trafficking. They create the demand that motivates traffickers to bring people into the sex trade in the first place. If no men were willing to pay for sexual access to people's bodies, traffickers would have no reason to do what they do.

Encouraging teens to sext is encouraging minors to create and distribute child sex abuse material (CSAM). Also, online predators use social media to pose as peers and groom kids to “sext” w/them and then distribute the material and blackmail them with it.

When you think of sex trafficking, sensational images might come to mind—kidnapping, guns, handcuffs, chains. In reality, most victims of sex trafficking are groomed and held captive through psychological abuse, manipulation, and coercion.

Reminder: Most sex traffickers aren't strangers to those they exploit. They develop relationships with them, either virtually or in-person, in order to methodically groom them. Child sex trafficking often involves a family member or someone else who personally knew the victim.
