This is a 60 second excerpt from my hour long conversation with Partrick Trueman, former Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division, U. S. Department of Justice. Mr. Trueman was kind enough to drive in to Washington D.C. to meet with me last week.
I will be breaking up the hour long recording into smaller portions, but wanted to get this one up as way of announcing the upcoming segments. The recording was done in the restaurant of the Washington Marriott, so please excuse the sound quality. This segment is his response to the question, “How big is the problem of child sex trafficking in the United States.”
The number is staggering.

I need someone from your organization to contatc me for an interview. I need a source for information on child sex slaves in the United States. How predominant is this practice? How often are children taken off the street and sold into slavery? Where can I find resources for these numers & the research to back up these numbers? Please contact me. This is for a story for the media I work for. Thank you.
