Sex trafficking in the US is more common than most people would expect.

According to victim reports, sex trafficking can happen to anyone, but some people are more vulnerable than others. Sex traffickers are very astute at recognizing and leveraging these types of vulnerabilities - which can include displacement, a drug abuse problem, those abused or neglected by family, and those desperate for money and shelter - in order to coerce and control their targets, creating submission, dependency, and an eventual loss of personal agency.

Pursuing justice after surviving sex trafficking can seem like a formidable challenge. In fact, it is estimated that less than 10% of the true number of sex trafficking incidents are ever reported; however, if you, or someone you know has been exploited in this way, it’s important you know you have the full weight of the law on your side, and you are entitled to significant financial compensation.

As an experienced litigator and trial attorney, Aaron Blank is a fierce advocate for victims of abuse and exploitation. In collaboration with Abuse Guardian, a national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers, Blank brings his considerable expertise to survivors of sex trafficking, helping them pursue restitution and secure compensation.

Sex trafficking is an insidious form of exploitation involving skilled manipulation which then moves into threats, debt bondage and other forms of coercion used to force adults and children to engage in sexual acts for money. This can include sex workers being victimized by a third party, and any form of exploitation and control for the purposes of financial gain through sex work conducted against an individual’s will.

With Aaron Blank and the Abuse Guardian alliance working together to bring sex trafficking perpetrators to justice, victims of sex trafficking in Maryland have an experienced team in their corner committed to securing the compensation and restitution they are due.

“Human trafficking operations often involve a network of individuals, all of whom can potentially be named in civil claims. Due to the nature of these cases, a profound understanding of the claims a survivor of sex trafficking can pursue is imperative, as is the provision of a compassionate and supportive environment in which the victim feels safe, respected, and empowered.”

A survivor of sex trafficking has the legal right to file suit against the people responsible for exploiting them, and adjacent businesses that assisted the primary party. And while they may feel powerless to pursue legal recourse, in fact, says Aaron, they have powerful legal options at their disposal.

With the benefit of experienced legal representation, and the resources available through Abuse Guardian, survivors of sex trafficking can pursue substantial compensation, including compensation for medical expenses, counseling, pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.

As a seasoned sexual abuse attorney, Aaron is committed to harnessing the full force of the US justice system to hold perpetrators of sex trafficking accountable. Past clients of Blank’s say he ranks among the very best, and serves as a caring attorney.

In partnership with Abuse Guardian, Aaron Blank offers free initial consultations, and encourages anyone who has been the victim of sexual exploitation to come forward, seek justice and secure compensation.

Take that powerful step forward by securing the justice and compensation you deserve so you can move into healing and empowerment. You are not alone – justice is within your reach. Click on the link in the podcast summary to find out more.
