Sex trafficking expected to increase at Cleveland's RNC July convention

11:13 PM, Apr 29, 2016

CLEVELAND - Both law enforcement and advocacy groups are predicting an increase in sex trafficking during Cleveland's Republican National Convention in July.

In Cleveland, the Renee Jones Empowerment Center and the Collaborative Initiative to End Human Trafficking are actively working to raise awareness of human trafficking in the weeks leading up to the convention.

"We know that it will occur," said founder Renee Jones. "There's no question in my mind."

And Collaborative Director Karen Walsh warned that trafficking, "is not a crime that happens only in the inner city--it can happen to almost any child who's vulnerable."
