WHAT IS SEX TRAFFICKING?

Sex trafficking is any sex act done in exchange for any item of value, where a third party is profiting off of the exchange. When a person is over 18 force, fraud or coercion must also be present. If a person is under 18 they cannot legally consent and therefore it is automatically sex trafficking.
