This topic is of interest to me because of my advocacy for sex crime victims and as someone who once served as a volunteer Guardian ad Litem. According to the FBI, there were less than 400 sex Trafficking-related arrests in 2014. Since Trump's inauguration, there have been over 1,500 arrests!
President Trump is on record as describing the issue as a "dire problem" - both domestically and internationally. Here's a list of some of the massive sex trafficking rings that have been shut down since Trump took office.

President Trump is on record as describing the issue as a "dire problem" - both domestically and internationally. Here's a list of some of the massive sex trafficking rings that have been shut down since Trump took office.
- On January 27th authorities arrested 42 in a human trafficking operation in Tennessee.
- On January 29th authorities announced that 474 were arrested in a statewide California human trafficking operation and 28 sexually exploited children were rescued.
- 108 were arrested from January 18th to February 5th in Illinois as part of a national sex trafficking sting operation.
- 178 people were arrested in Texas for sex trafficking in sting that operated in January until Super Bowl Sunday.
- 16 people were arrested in January in Michigan for sex trafficking during the Detroit Auto Show.
- In February, authorities arrested 11 in Virginia in a child sex sting.
- And, on February 14th, Polk county sheriff announced that 42 were arrested in Florida in child pornography related cases.
Not surprising, many of the "mainstream" news outlets have ignored these historical arrests. The good news is that we have a president who genuinely cares about children and he's vowed to make solving the human trafficking epidemic a priority. This story will eventually get so big that they will be forced to cover this horrific epidemic that has plagued our country for far too long.
