Most of the links at the bottom, where you compare the years, are down. Plus, some news don't fit in the 2017 record, like the penultimate one in EDO, which are 80 arrests from 2016. By the way, why are there norvegian, malasyan, etc. arrests included in this list ? Has this anything to do with the US administration ?
A lot of these, a huge number, were just regular prostitutes and johns busted for prostitution. I'm thinking these numbers are hugely inflated. There were tons of stories that included "human trafficking" in the headlines that did not qualify.
I've been clicking around and the links are good. Some pedo-porn rings and some do include the johns arrested during the stings. It all counts though, money paid for by a john eventually makes its way into a politicians pocket.
I did some of that too. There more more human trafficking related articles than I expected. I'm not sure what the percentage of articles would be that would not qualify but from the small sampling I took it was not as bad as I expected.
Nope. Probably 95% of those stories were prostitutes and johns of legal age. They were standard prostitution stings that had "human trafficking" in the headlines. Those were planted on purpose and I notice right now that the numbers are being aggregated into huge numbers like this and trotted out to make it look like human traffickers are being hit. This is a trick by the people behind writing the news stories and the law enforcement agencies that allowed their names to be used.

Does Homeland Security account for all arrests? I've found higher numbers for those years on Google.
