Speaker: Kathleen Mitchell
Board President of Breaking Free

By very conservative measures, a November 2010 study found that each month in Minnesota at least 213 underage girls are sold for sex an average of five times per day through the Internet and escort services. This number does not include hotel, street or gang activity.
 
The numbers are frightening. In 2003, Minneapolis was identified by the FBI as one of 13 cities with a large concentration of child prostitution enterprises.
 
Kitty will address the reasons behind Minnesota’s child prostitution rings and what’s being done to help combat this violent crime against women.
