American RadioWorks documentary: 'The New Fight Against Teen Sex Trafficking'

The nation is changing the way it thinks about teen sex trafficking. States have decriminalized it for teenagers and offered help, and some are attacking the demand for commercial sex.

"Bought and Sold: The New Fight Against Teen Sex Trafficking" is a new American RadioWorks documentary that tells the story of this new approach.

The piece was produced by Sasha Aslanian, Stephen Smith, Emily Haavik and Kate Ellis of the American RadioWorks documentary unit.
