Sex trafficking — the manipulation and coercion of women and children into the commercial sex trade — is the biggest problem facing Topeka and Shawnee County law enforcement, Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor says.
It is more serious than gang violence and drug trafficking, Taylor said.
“The human trafficking problem, in my opinion, is bigger than all those,” Taylor said. “We are pulling out all the stops on the strategies we are going to employ and deploy in battling this problem. We want this problem eradicated.”
