Warning Signs

All Ohioans can play a role in combating human trafficking by reporting suspicious activity based on these warning signs:

Sex trafficking

The potential victim:
  • Appears submissive, fearful or nervous.
  • Is not in control of identification documents or money.
  • Has inconsistent or well-rehearsed story about where he/she lives, the relationship with the person he/she is with or how he/she traveled to the current location.
  • Is inappropriately dressed for weather, location or age.
  • Is in presence of an overtly controlling or concerned male or female friend or boyfriend/girlfriend.
  • Is in possession of multiple hotel key cards, prepaid credit cards or cellphones.
  • Shows signs of physical, mental or emotional abuse.
  • Is unable to come and go as he/she pleases.

Labor trafficking

The potential victim:
  • Appears to live at the place of employment.
  • Is transported in a group by the employer or someone who is part of employer’s organization.
  • Experiences restricted or monitored movement.
  • Is not in control of identification documents.
  • Earns wages below the state’s minimum wage.
  • Is constantly indebted to the employer.
  • Shows signs of physical abuse, isolation and starvation.
  • Works long hours in poor conditions.

Remember:

Don't approach traffickers. Allow law enforcement to deal with traffickers and recover victims. Approaching traffickers is dangerous for you and the victims. Also, anyone using their CMV to commit to a felony involving a severe form of human trafficking will receive a lifetime CDL ban. All 50 states and DC have a law criminalizing sex trafficking. Some states punish purchasers the same as sex traffickers, and 31 states have a buyer applicable trafficking law prohibiting mistake-of-age defense in prosecutions for buying commercial sex act with any minor under 18.
