But we cannot put them out of business until and unless we deal with the problem of DEMAND. And so that's why we are going after the unscrupulous adults who prey on the young and the innocent.“

Recruiter gains victim’s trust. Traffickers coerce young women and their

families. Broker poses as boyfriend. Or tricks into false marriage. Lured with promises of a "good "job. Try to interact through social network .
