A growing number of young males — some just ten years old — are being
forced into the sex trade in the United States, with traffickers
dressing some little boys as girls before selling them.
Many of the victims were coerced into a life of sexual slavery by a trusted adult, Malone and Rogers revealed, with 50 to 60 percent coming out of foster care.
They shared the story of “Alex,” who was 13-years-old when he ran away from foster care. At a bus station, Alex met a man who offered to let him stay with him – in exchange for sex. Alex was eventually forced to have sex with other men, as well.
As a teenager, “Ryan” was sold by his mother for sex with an older man. Eventually, she convinced several of Ryan's friends to sell themselves as well, though she kept most of the profits for herself.
