Victims of Sex trafficking are often
treated as criminals,
including minors. Las Vegas provides sex
traffickers with an abundance
of opportunities to victimize
women, especially in places such
as casinos and/or strip clubs.

In 2019, 290 minors

were arrested for prostitution or a
prostitution related offense, with 40 being
14 years or younger.
These girls were not only victims of sex trafficking, but
also fell victim to a failed judicial system.
There was hope that by July of 2022, Nevada would pass a law that
would not allow a minor to be placed in detention centers for engaging
in prostitution, however there was a lack of funding to get the bill
passed.
