I just saw some posts which claim that Allison Mack was charged with child sex trafficking. Did anyone see the actual charges?
U.S. District Court Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn)
Case Number: 1:18-cr-00204-NGG-2
I tried to look it up, but you need a Pacer account to access. Any law students here? I will post this in a law school sub to see if someone there has access.
I found this, but I would like to see the actual charges filed in court.

Yeah, it is listed as a notable post over there. Screenshots - 3 - right from PACER. Judge Garaufis is assigned. Pending counts Title 18 Section 1591 (a) (1), 1591 (a) (2), 1591 (b) (1), 1594 (a), 2 and 3551 et. seq. Then the verbal descriptions in all capital letters. Sex Trafficking of children by force of coercion. Establishing peonage.

I read the complaint twice. Did not find any reference to the ages of the victims. No legal terms such as minor, child, or underage. AFAIK, the complaint might only refer to adult victims. Does anyone else know otherwise?
