Sex trafficking: Senate bill would crack down on growing problem

Next week, Ambrose will be watching as the Senate debates legislation designed to curb online sex trafficking — a problem that has increased exponentially in recent years as traffickers and their customers use the anonymity of the Internet to sell adults and children for sex across the U.S.

Supporters say the bill will give trafficking victims and law enforcement officials new tools to go after websites that have knowingly facilitated sex trafficking and prostitution.
