trafficker’s process
• Subtle “price tag” moment(s) (moment when
value is dictated by another’s abusive actions)
causing “boundary box” of victim to expand until
turning out/exploitation is possible/easier
• Recruitment (via online, school, mall…calculated,
investment of time & money)
• Grooming (isolation, sexual relationship, gifts,
and/or abuse)
• Turning out (“You’re already doing it, why not get
paid?”, plays on past abuse/neglect, need to
work to support them, creates illusion of caring)
