Abstract

The article focuses on the accusation of domestic sex trafficking in the U.S. It evaluates methods implemented by sex traffickers to enslave victims and the U.S. Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 to battle domestic commercial sex trafficking, which criminalizes minors' involvement in commercial sex who are engaged in the act through coercion. It discusses kidnapping, using fraud to gain access to victims, and grooming methods that traffickers use to exploit victims.

Keywords: Human trafficking
