I get confused over sex trafficking laws. Seems it's more prevalent than many think. How does that get done?

Sex trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is defined by the United Nations as the “recruitment, transport, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation”, usually involving forced labor or exploitation for the purpose of sexual exploitation.  In the United States, the Federal Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act defines trafficking as the movement of people for the purposes of compelling them to engage in any activity by force, fraud or coercion, for the purpose of exploitation. Victims of trafficking may be forced to perform labor or sexual services, or be subject to involuntary servitude. Traffickers utilize various tactics, such as forcing people at gunpoint, using deception, fraud or exploiting situations of need to ensure the person is unable to leave. Victims of trafficking may be transported to different cities, states, or countries, and may be threatened or beaten by traffickers for non-compliance.
