Sex Trafficking of Minnesota Children

Sexual exploitation of children is happening in every Minnesota county.  In fact, Minnesota has the third highest rate of child sexual exploitation in the nation.  Child sex trafficking (aka "child prostitution," "juvenile prostitution," commercial sexual exploitation of children, survival sex) is among the most insidious abuses of children, and all too often these children are treated as criminals rather than victims.  

Following is information that may be of assistance to child protection system stakeholders who are working with these vulnerable children and youth.
