MIAMI (AP) Authorities in Miami are launching an initiative aimed at curbing sex trafficking in the events surrounding February’s Super Bowl.
Officials say sex trafficking is an increasing problem at large-scale events such as the Super Bowl that draw tens of thousands of people to a party atmosphere.
Federal and local officials said Wednesday the Miami effort will include ads such as a ”creepy guy” poster bearing the words: ”Buy Sex. Be Exposed.”
It features a 24-hour number people can call or text to report suspicious behavior, 305-FIX-STOP.
Authorities say Miami-Dade County ranks first in sex trafficking in Florida, which in turn ranks third in the nation. About 40% of victims are children, some as young as 12.
The Super Bowl will be played at Hard Rock Stadium on Feb. 2.
