The top federal prosecutor in Nevada says agencies are aiming to curb child prostitution in the state where 14 child sex trafficking victims were found in when the FBI rescued more than 100 across the U.S. last July.
U.S. Attorney Nicholas Trutanich tells the Las Vegas Sun that Nevada was the district with the most youngsters recovered.
An analysis of state child trafficking laws led the nonprofit Shared Hope International to give the state top grades for battling a $150-billion-a-year human trafficking industry affecting 20 million victims nationwide.
