Kansas attorney general Derek Schmidt, two trucking associations partner to combat sex trafficking
On Thursday, a searing symbol of the brutality of sex trafficking was on display when the Kansas attorney general and two professional trucking associations announced a program to fight sex trafficking on Kansas highways.
A brass dog tag that a sex trafficking victim was forced to wear after her pimp sold her to a brothel in Nevada was on display in the Freedom Drivers Project, a mobile exhibit to educate people about human trafficking.
The dog tag reads, “Crib No. 3. Ask for” and the victim’s name.
For weeks at a time, the girl’s pimp sold her to a legal brothel in Nevada, and the pimp received 60 percent of the girl’s profits while the brothel received 40 percent, the information plate under the dog tag said. The exhibit in the 48-foot trailer is sponsored by Truckers Against Trafficking.
On Thursday, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, the Kansas Motor Carriers Association, and Truckers Against Trafficking discussed the organizations’ partnership to fight sex trafficking and to support trafficking victims.
