Understanding Sex Trafficking in Florida
Sex trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for commercial sex acts. In Florida, this heinous crime affects people across various communities, with traffickers often targeting vulnerable populations. Victims may be coerced into prostitution, pornography, or other forms of sexual exploitation, often under threats of violence or manipulation.
Legal Rights of Survivors
Survivors of sex trafficking in Florida have the right to pursue civil litigation against their traffickers and any third parties that facilitated or turned a blind eye to the exploitation. This includes businesses such as hotels, motels, or online platforms that may have knowingly allowed trafficking activities to occur on their premises or services.
Potential Compensation Includes:
Medical Expenses: Costs for physical and psychological treatment resulting from the abuse.
Therapy and Counseling: Expenses for mental health support to aid in recovery.
