There were over 5, human trafficking cases in the United States in and here in Montana nine cases were reported. Detective Guy Baker of the Missoula Police Department, who has worked on over 60 cases since and is also a member of an FBI task force specializing in the matter, made a presentation on the topic to the Missoula City Club on Monday. One incredibly at risk population according to Baker is minors who are runaways because of their vulnerability to predators.
And once that happens they are at particular risk for exploitation of trafficking as well as child pornography. Baker also said that the best way you can help prevent sex trafficking is be aware of your surroundings and report anything you see to authorities.
He added that if you would like to help combat human trafficking in Missoula you can join the Missoula Human Trafficking Task Force and you can find more information on their Facebook page.
