Jessika is one of hundreds of young women who say they were sold for sex allegedly through Backpage.com, the highly controversial classifieds site that federal authorities shut down last week, indicting seven of its top officials with facilitating prostitution and money laundering.
President Donald Trump signed a new law today that will hold online services responsible for abusive content knowingly facilitating sex trafficking. The “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act,” or the "FOSTA" bill, goes into effect immediately.

'Smallville' Actress Allison Mack Is Charged With Sex Trafficking'
https://verizon.yahoo.com/news/apos-smallville-apos-actress-allison-233716070.html
Actress Allison Mack was charged with sex trafficking on Friday in connection with her alleged involvement in a secret cult in upstate New York.
She and Keith Raniere, who was arrested March 25 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, are both charged with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy.
The charges are in connection with their involvement in NXIVM (“Nexium”, a group started by Raniere that claims its mission is “to raise human awareness, foster an ethical humanitarian civilization, and celebrate what it means to be human.”
April 30, 2018 10:26AM EDT PARIS - A police operation across the Caribbean and South America has freed nearly 350 people from human trafficking networks and led to the arrests of 22 people.
Those rescued included children and adults working in nightclubs, gold mines, factories, open-air markets and on farms, international police agency Interpol said Monday.
Some were forced to work without pay, or in spaces no bigger than coffins. Interpol said the traffickers took advantage of vulnerable populations seeking jobs across borders.
“In Guyana, young women were found working as prostitutes next to extremely remote gold mines, from which they could not escape,” Interpol said in a statement.
Police scour Genesee County for 76 missing kidsThe first goal was to find the kids, the second was to develop leads on where other missing children may be and the third was to get information about potential human trafficking or prostitution in Genesee County.
"This is the first time in the 20 years since I've been the sheriff that we've put a strikeforce team together of this magnitude involving law enforcement agencies from all over the county as well as social agencies, hospitals," said Genesee County Robert Pickell. "We've got 76 kids right now that are in potentially dangerous situations. We are concerned if they're not already being exploited that they're potential people to be exploited. The whole purpose of us here today is to protect these kids -- get them. It's a rescue mission in that sense."
Authorities find 51 of 76 missing children during sweepAbout 70 police officers from most agencies in the county targeted specific homes, rescuing children from human trafficking.
The kids, all under the age of 17, were reported missing after failing to show up for court hearings, missing school or were foster children the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services hadn't heard from for a while.
Police say four to six of the children were being trafficked. One of them was taking part in a forensic interviewer Thursday afternoon, talking about alleged sex crimes in which they were the victim.
All of the remaining children subjected to sex trafficking will receive forensic interviews in the near future.
Authorities placed 15 children in juvenile custody -- 12 of them in Genesee County facilities and three others in facilities outside the county.
"We're gonna protect these kids and we're gonna find them, locate them and get them some help," said Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell.
