Nearly 300,000 American youths—mostly runaways or abandoned children from abusive homes—are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation, often turning to prostitution for survival.
A study of 941 victims found the average age of first exploitation was 15—some as young as 4.
LGBT youth are more likely to leave home, seeking housing that “must feel like a home.” Homelessness, online exposure, and trans identification heighten their risk of being groomed into sex trafficking.
We spoke to a private investigator and reported on this problem. Full report available HERE ⬇️
