Human trafficking continues to rise in Wisconsin.

According to an October 2015 announcement by the Milwaukee FBI office, a total of 149 underage victims were recovered, with 153 pimps arrested across Wisconsin. A presentation will be hosted at Mid-State at all campuses to shed light on the reality of sexual exploitation and slavery in Wisconsin.
