Child Sex-Trafficking Prosecutions Down 35% Under Trump: The number of federal child sex-trafficking prosecutions has fallen 35% to 180 under the Trump administration. That stands in contrast to the 62% jump during the Obama administration’s first term and 34% increase in its second, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, an independent data-research organization at Syracuse University. About two-thirds of the time in the last fiscal year through Sept. 30, U.S. prosecutors cited a lack of evidence for turning down referrals they received, according to TRAC.
