The Trump administration could reverse its decision in future budgets, but we are not optimistic given its overall record on sex trafficking issues. A recent report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University found that federal prosecutions of those who sex trafficked children have dropped 26.7 percent over the last year. The report was completed in light of the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein, the highly connected sex offender who committed suicide while incarcerated.
