With the big NFL game weekend here, there’s often a dark side that’s spoken of – and that’s sex trafficking.
Contrary to popular belief, experts and advocacy groups say there is actually no evidence to support that the game leads to a spike in sex trafficking.
Victim’s advocates, like Freedom Network USA, say the problem is actually year-round.
They say the events surrounding Superbowl Sunday are just an occasion in which law enforcement increase efforts and make more arrests, many of which are consensual sex workers rather than organized crime rings.
