Interviewing Child Sex Trafficking Victims

5/24/2017
Because child sex trafficking victims have often been traumatized, it can be difficult to get accurate, timely information from them to proceed with an investigation. The National Criminal Justice Training Center will present “Missing & Exploited Children: Child Sex Trafficking from Suspicion to Disclosure” at OPOTA Richfield in early October. Attendees will learn techniques and strategies to increase the likelihood of obtaining information from possible victims of child sex trafficking. Students will compare and contrast typical child sexual abuse cases with child sex trafficking cases; address the different points of entry into the system for trafficking victims; understand how each team member’s role can contribute to a positive outcome of the case; and discuss question strategy, interview fatigue, and language use.
