What is sex trafficking?
The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act where such 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.
Sex trafficking doesn't happen in Delaware, does it?
Sex trafficking happens everywhere, and yes, that includes Delaware. A common misconception is sex trafficking only occurs in foreign countries or to illegal immigrants that have been smuggled into the United States. Another common misconception is that sex trafficking only happens in major cities. In reality it is happening in illicit massage parlors, motels, and even residential homes, within our own communities.
The average age that a victim is recruited into trafficking in the United States is 14 years old, usually forced or coerced into prostitution. Once in the life, it is almost impossible to escape. That’s why we are here. We want to provide victims of trafficking with another option, an escape.
