Information just released by the U.S. Department of Justice says most suspected cases of human trafficking involve prostitution. Both children and adults are sex trafficking victims.
From January 2008 to june 2010, more than 2,500 cases were investigated. Nearly half involved adult sex trafficking. Forty percent of the cases alleged sexual exploitation of a child.
Federal investigators say the victims were picked up and forced to trade sex for shelter, transportation or work. Most of the sex trafficking victims were not immigrants. Rather, they were U.S. citizens.
