A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee held a hearing on combating online sex trafficking and reviewing the legislation that would allow states and victims to sue websites. Witnesses included the founder and CEO of End Slavery Tennessee and the assistant special agent in charge of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Earlier in November 2017, 22 people were indicted in Brentwood, Tennessee, on sex trafficking charges. Several stories of sex trafficking cases were shared, including Representative Pete Olson’s (R-TX) account of an attempted kidnapping of his daughter while she was studying abroad in South Africa. close
