Have you ever wondered WHY human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the U.S and California is usually the number one state for cases?

This week we look at several local cases and examine WHY and HOW this could be happening.  We will look at street commercial sex and the recent case in Pomona, California involving seven females mostly 14 to 17 years old. One victim was six months pregnant.  We explore massage parlor prostitution taking place in our community and a local alleged violent pimp that was exploiting a young girl. (Law enforcement is seeking more information on the Christian Meeks case.) 

We will also look at the potential impact of the massive wave of unaccompanied minors crossing our border who may be in "debt bondage" to a coyote or Cartel. Recent statistics from Customs and Border Protection indicate that over 170,000 individuals were processed in March 2021.  Assuming each one is paying on average a $4000 coyote fee, it would appear that Cartels are making billions while millions of vulnerable young people could potentially be exploited on our homeland.

Be sure to listen and learn more.
