Why is Sex Trafficking at the Superbowl?
We are approaching what is the largest sports event and the most-watched program on U.S. TV every year: the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl and other large sporting events like the Olympics and the World Cup are increasingly being recognized as magnets for sex trafficking and child prostitution. The 2010 Super Bowl saw an estimated 10,000 sex workers brought in to Miami, while the 2011 event resulted in 133 prostitution-related arrests in Dallas.
