8:13 p.m.: FBI forum addresses civil rights
By Justin Schneider
“There are a lot of things that go on, psychologically, with beating them down and forming a bond to their captor,” Glavach. “We see this a lot in organized crime.”
According to statistics from the state department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are transferred worldwide in human trafficking rings. Among victims, 80 percent have been found to be women and girls, over 50 percent have been minors and 70 percent were forced into sexual servitude. Glavach called it the “fastest-growing criminal industry in the world.”
