Jacquelyn Aluotto explains how traffickers often force victims into criminal activity as a method of control. By saddling victims with drug charges, robbery charges, assault charges, or other criminal records, traffickers make it harder for them to find legitimate work, rebuild their lives, or be believed when they come forward for help.
Aluotto describes how victims are often pressured to take the blame for drugs, weapons, hotel rooms, and other crimes connected to trafficking operations, while the traffickers remain hidden. The result is a cycle of shame, silence, and dependency that keeps victims trapped and protects those exploiting them.
In this episode of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Jackie shares firsthand insights from decades of investigating and combating child exploitation. The conversation explores how trafficking networks operate, the vulnerabilities within foster care systems, the role of technology in facilitating abuse, and why stronger accountability is needed across institutions. Together, Lara and Jackie examine the realities behind modern-day slavery and discuss practical steps communities can take to protect children and support survivors.
