Sex Slavery a US Problem Too, Activists Highlight:
"There are at least 100,000 American juveniles, at an average age of 13, who become victims of sex trafficking each year in the United States. Further, 77 percent of the women who are prostitutes today first entered the sex trade as a sex slave when they were a minor. Smith was also shocked to find that the victims, rather than the perpetrators of the crime, were being arrested. Law enforcement officials often found that the only way to get a sex trafficking victim away from her "owner," would be to arrest her for prostitution. "
