New Hampshire Teacher, Massachusetts Men Face Attempted Sex Trafficking of a Minor Charges

Amanda Grady Sexton, the director of public affairs for the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, said the org was grateful to all of the agencies who assisted with the effort to charge and arrest the men who attempted to traffic a child in Manchester.

“Initiatives like Project Safe Childhood help bring together agencies to stop the rapidly expanding epidemic of child exploitation,” she said. “ While law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are working hard to investigate and prosecute child predators, it’s important for all of us to know that we, too, have a role in ending the sexual exploitation of children in our communities. Our crisis centers not only assist victims of human trafficking and child exploitation but also work with local schools, parents, social service agencies, and any member of the public who is interested in learning how to help prevent and end child abuse.”

​The organization has a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week helpline at 1-866-644-3574, which will connect anyone to a local crisis center for free and confidential support and education.
