Note: Top 5 top sex trafficking list 2024
5. New York – No. of reported cases: 206
It seems that the number of human trafficking (and especially sex trafficking) cases in New York is dramatically increasing.
The number of 206 cases is more than double than during 2016, so we might expect that New York gets even a higher position if we are to conduct the research about the top states for human trafficking in 2019, again at the end of this year.
4. Ohio – No. of reported cases: 219
In Ohio, the most trafficking take place in hotels and motels, Commercial-Front Brothels and online ad. venues, and it is mostly concentrated in the central part of the state.
Florida – No. of reported cases: 367
The government of Florida seems to be working hard on preventing human trafficking, even though the state is one among those that have the most human trafficking reported cases. Namely, during 2018, 277 people were arrested for sex trafficking during an undercover operation called “Operation No Trick, No Treats”.
2. Texas – No. of reported cases: 455
Human trafficking is crawling into every sphere of society it seems. News from Texas reported that an eighth-grade teacher was arrested in an attempt to traffic a child to Morocco.
1. California – No. of reported cases: 760
California seems to keep the first place in 15 top states for human trafficking in 2019 as well.
Not only it precedes every other country but the number of reported cases is quite higher compared to the second top trafficking state, Texas, as we have seen. One of the main risk factors for human trafficking in California include migration and relocation, where Latinos and Asians are the main target groups.
