Orange County, Calif., which boasts a median household income of $86,000, is often viewed as a relatively safe, wealthy, and conservative region. Most people do not do not equate the area with human trafficking. However, researchers reveal the county to be a destination spot for traffickers.
The official Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force (OCHTTF), set up to fight real time sex and labor slavery in the county, released their latest victim report in 2019. Approximately 80 percent of both victims and traffickers in Orange County travel to the area from other parts of the region, the state, and the entire nation.
“This is due in part to Orange County’s tourist attractions, sports venues, beach cities and affluent population,” states the report (pdf). “Traffickers bring their victims expecting to have an abundance of customers and higher profits.”
There were 415 human trafficking victims rescued in the county in the past two years, compared to 509 in 2015-2016 and 371 in 2013-2014. According to the OCHTTF report, a full 73 percent were new victims in 2017 or 2018. Of that total, 87 percent were trafficked in the sex trade while 12 percent were in forced labor.
The United Nations Orange County Chapter 74th Anniversary event, held last month, highlighted this local tragedy. The United Nations defines human trafficking as “modern slavery” — the act of utilizing threat, force, deception, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation.
Kelly Galindo, a professor of film and media arts at Chapman University’s Dodge College, directed an upcoming documentary series on sex trafficking called “26 Seconds.” She visited and filmed sex slave survivors around the globe, including in Thailand, Iraq, Cambodia, India, East Africa, Mexico, and the United States.

Women and Children Ordered ‘Like Pizza’—Human Trafficking in Orange County...
Boy i’d hate to see the Domino’s menu there.
Move please my Mossberg 500 needs to clear the obstructions.
I kinda find it funny how we never heard of this problem until a few years ago once the antiprostitution movement flipped from the mostly traditional conservative to a mostly feminist driven force and people are scrambling around to find a new justification to keep paid sex illegal now that nobody buys into the morality or family arguments anymore. Guess maybe those mulleted 80s pimps preferred local?
Yup - the Democrats actually are involved in this.
Just don't expect the Dept of Injustice or the Federal Bureau of Injustice to do anything about it.
Ever.
So they rounded up a few hookers and are saving the world?

Hello i’m a researcher writing a book, can I pay you 100.00 to answer some leading questions for me?
……...yep.
The only thing I get from Domino’s is gluten free pizza.
I'm not sure where you're getting that.
According to the article, "There were 415 human trafficking victims rescued in the county in the past two years, compared to 509 in 2015-2016 and 371 in 2013-2014. According to the OCHTTF report, a full 73 percent were new victims in 2017 or 2018. Of that total, 87 percent were trafficked in the sex trade while 12 percent were in forced labor."
IMO, anytime you can get human traffickers and the people who patronize them off the streets, you're helping to save the world.
And how many of these were just hookers plying their trade?
"Human trafficking victim" sounds better than "hooker" though, right?
But even if you're right, it doesn't change what I think of human traffickers or their patrons.
"Human trafficking" is a current euphemism for prostitution. If you transport hookers to where the customers are, then you are engaging in "human trafficking".
Why do some women get into prostitution? It's a way to make much more money than they could otherwise, and for drug addicts who are too dysfunctional to work a regular job.
Many are not "saved", they will be back on the streets within a week or so.
“’Human trafficking’ is a current euphemism for prostitution.”
I thought human trafficking is sex slavery — actual slavery — and the sex providers have no choice. And prostitution was the person using her/his own free will to sell herself.
Guess I’m not up to speed on the lingo.
So President Trump efforts to fight human trafficking are a lie because there is no such thing. Is that what you're saying?
Only YOU, the most genuinely evil poster here, would sneer at justice for abusive perversion.
Reveals exactly who you are, which is why I continue to be amazed you’re permitted to post here.
Where’s George Stephanopoulos when your need him to cover up a human trafficking story
Satan rules over California!
