ABC's "Primetime: Crime" is about to take a rare look inside the dark and violent world of domestic sex trafficking. On Wednesday, the show will examine how American teens are being lured and sometimes kidnapped into sexual slavery.
"Primetime" (check local listings) gained exclusive access to two Ohio victims. Teen cousins Carol, 14, and Kimberly, 15, were on their way to buy milkshakes when they were kidnapped on Toledo's, Main Street and forced into a world that demanded sex with men for money.
"There are children throughout the United States who are being sold as prostitutes," FBI special agent Mike Beaver said. "It's not uncommon to see 12- and 13-year-olds out. What we've learned is if you have adult prostitution in an area, there's probably child prostitution occurring as well. It's more of a black market; it's more underground, but it's there."
The FBI estimates there are 100,000 minors in America being forced to trade sex for money.
