Human Trafficking Site Seized
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The top online human trafficking site, Backpage.com, was seized by the federal government two weeks after the U.S. House and Senate passed a bill to stop online human sex trafficking. H.R. 1865, known as the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017, targets online sex trafficking and subjects websites to federal criminal and civil liability when users misuse online personals. President Trump is expected to sign it into law on Wednesday.- Monday, April 9, 2018
