That is sad that it takes a high profile person to shine a light on the sex trafficking industry,” said William Snyder, the Martin County sheriff. The charge comes amid a widespread crackdown on sex trafficking involving more than 300 male buyers and multiple women running operations in several counties. Florida ranks third in the country for human trafficking, much of it sex trafficking. Sex trafficking experts attribute the volume of trafficking in those states to the fact that they have large, transient populations and international travel hubs. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, top venues for sex trafficking in Florida include hotels, private residences and massage businesses like the one where Kraft was busted.
