Anti-Sex Trafficking Group Hopes To Raise Money For Second Caseworker

The Polaris Project’s definition of sex trafficking is the use of violence, threats, lies, debt, bondage and other forms of coercion to compel adults and children to engage in commercial sex acts against their will.

In Lincoln, the nonprofit I've Got a Name works to increase awareness of the problem and will host its year-end public celebration Dec. 1 at Berean Church, featuring music and a speech by the mother of a Lincoln girl who was trafficked.

“My goal is to say that this really is (also) a men's issue and we’ve got to change people’s mindset so that this is not acceptable,” said I’ve Got A Name founder Robert Burton. “Johns need to be prosecuted and girls need to be treated like victims.”
