The majority of online recruitment in active sex trafficking cases in the U.S. last year took place on Facebook, according to the Human Trafficking Institute's 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report.
"The internet has become the dominant tool that traffickers use to recruit victims, and they often recruit them on a number of very common social networking websites," Human Trafficking Institute CEO Victor Boutros said on CBSN Wednesday. "Facebook overwhelmingly is used by traffickers to recruit victims in active sex trafficking cases."
Active cases include those in which defendants were charged in 2020, as well as those in which defendants were charged in previous years and charges were still pending in trial last year or the case was on appeal.
Instagram and Snapchat were the most frequently cited platforms after Facebook for recruiting child victims in 2020. For adult victims, the next-most cited were WeChat and Instagram.
The annual report uses data from every active federal criminal and civil human trafficking case over the last year, but 2020's featured an expanded scope.
"This report actually looks at the last 20 years of trends in the federal government," Boutros said.
The report revealed that children accounted for 53% of identified victims in active criminal human trafficking cases in 2020, and women made up a large majority. Forty-four percent of victims of sex trafficking were women, and half were girls.
While the internet has been the most common place of recruitment since 2013, including 41% of active cases in 2020, the street, stores and cults were also cited by the group as targets of human traffickers.

Boy, something really stinks, and it ain’t no skunk. Facebook is the pedophile/sex slaver/human trafficker’s dream. I hope Zuckerburg is ready to shift blame, equivocate, and dissemble on this one. Who knew such a geeky guy was so palsy walsy with the most evil an vile humans on earth?
So they destroyed the Craigslist Adult section for no good reason?
Facebook needs to be shutdown permanently.

I took particular delight in posting this article to FB.
/soon to be in jail...again
:D
Suckerberg looks exactly like a pedo to me. Friend of Jeffery Epstein no doubt, just like Clinton. Did you see the portrait of Clinton in Epstein’s NYC mansion? Right in the front hall, huge painting of BJC in a blue dress sitting in a chair with red high heels on. Who knows where the Suckerberg high=heel portrait is.
But hey, he banned Trump from FascistBook so he can’t be all bad.
I would not doubt it.
Police THAT, ZuckUp . . . depraved commie!!!!!!!!

You get it for free but the quality sucks. You have no say in how it works. The guy who runs it gets rich. There's no real competition. You have no privacy. And if you say one thing they don't like they'll shut you up. |

Zuckerman should be in prison for aiding and abetting child molesters.
BUMP as in megga!
And the venerable David Venable is almost forcing viewers to hook up with him on Facebook. He has a cookbook coming out and joining him on That horrible FB is part of the promotion.
I am getting Ads on my gaming sites requesting me to join Facebook. I am hoping that their viewers are decreasing for various reasons and they are desperate to get replacements.
NEVER, as much as I love President Trump, I shall not join any social media.
“The majority of online recruitment in active sex trafficking cases in the U.S. last year took place on Facebook, according to the Human Trafficking Institute’s 2020 Federal Human Trafficking Report.”
For me, that’s enough for states to ban Facebook and charge Zuckerbutt with child sex traficking. Time to go to state judges and get a warrant for his arrest.
Let’s hope it’s another nail in the coffin that is Farcebook.
Is it THAT easy to get girls to put themselves at risk, or are they just the clueless who end up enslaved?
