Tucson Escorts: Noting Problems Stringing Change: How local students and bands are joining the …
With tickets only $5 at the door, Hackman is hopeful the event attracts many of his fellow students, as well as other concerned Tucsonans.
“We are talking about an estimated 300,000 people affected here in the U.S. alone,” Hagberg said. “The scary thing is over half of these cases involve children. Last I checked, the average age was around 13 years old, and I know that Phoenix is not in great standing, as many sex trafficking cases come from the city each year.
“It may sound crazy,” Hackman added, “but I knew of people in high school who used to purchase prostitutes, and they found it sickly comical. The reality is many of these ‘prostitutes’ were victims of this sex trafficking, and there’s a good chance they were beaten or drugged and most likely forced into these actions against their will.”
