When the term “sex trafficking” is used, many immediately think of a person being transported across national borders. Sex trafficking does include this scenario, but the term is also more broadly used to describe the process for initiating commercial sex acts: prostitution, pornography, and sexual performance done in exchange for any item of value, such as money, drugs, shelter, food or clothes. The term applies when minors are included or when force, fraud, or coercion is used to bring about a commercial sex act with an adult.
