Child Sex Trafficking in the UK

Reporters say that child sex trafficking is a problem on the rise in the United Kingdom. Children as young as 10 years old are being sexually exploited. Over 1,000 children have been saved from this business. In just one year there was a 4% increase in the number of children groomed for trafficking. Although race is not the only factor, reporters claim that it is a strong contributing factor, for example, white black and asian children are main targets, and there have been recent arrests of nine asian men who were caught exploiting white girls at the age of 12.
