Federal law prohibits the prostitution of children, both with respect to individuals who offer children for sex in exchange for money or other considerations, and with respect to individuals who would pay to have sex with a child.
Children involved in this form of commercial sexual exploitation are victims. Under federal law, children cannot consent to being prostituted.
Numerous different phrases are used to describe the prostitution of children, including sex trafficking, a severe form of human trafficking, or the commercial sexual exploitation of children.
Many recovered American victims are runaways or “throwaway youth” who often suffer from a history of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and family abandonment issues. Pimps see this population as an easy target because the children are generally vulnerable, without dependable guardians, and suffer from low self-esteem. Child victims of prostitution come from all backgrounds in terms of class, race, and geography (i.e., urban, suburban, and rural settings).
