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

Sex trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to make someone engage in any sex-related activity. It is closely connected with the world of prostitution, but differs in that traffickers often trap victims in abusive situations and exploit them for profit. Traffickers use force, threats and other coercion to keep victims in these exploitative situations and force them to have sex with multiple people. Victims of trafficking are often from vulnerable backgrounds such as runaways, homeless people, and children in foster care and can suffer long-term psychological damage as a result of the trauma they experience. Trafficking is a serious crime and those who are found guilty can face criminal penalties as well as civil lawsuits from the victims. It is a challenge to combat trafficking because it often occurs in hidden spaces and victim identification is challenging, but awareness, education, and cooperation with law enforcement are key in fighting trafficking.
