Johnson allegedly told her that he would not report it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges arise out of allegations from 19-year-old Jasmine Abuslin, also known as Celeste Guap, a former sex worker who may have been the victim of child sex trafficking. Abuslin told police investigators she had sexual encounters with 30 law enforcement officers in the Bay Area and that at least four of those interactions occurred when she was still a minor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys for the teenager also filed a claim Friday against Oakland for $66 million in economic damages and additional undisclosed amounts.

And you have nothing left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what happens to victims of human trafficking, Hajenius said. The kids learn to respond, such as calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline if they see something. And they have a Q-and-A session with survivor Oree Freeman, who talks candidly with them about what it was like for her to get sucked into \"the life,\" a life she struggled to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freeman, who is now an advocate for sex trafficking victims, drives home the importance of speaking out, whether you are the one struggling or you are the one who sees something going on with a classmate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not that easy to talk to somebody,\" the 21-year-old tells the kids. \"But if you can start now, I can’t tell you how amazing of a person or young woman or young man that you will be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Anderson, of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/LongBeachHumanTraffickingTaskforce/\">Long Beach Human Trafficking Task Force,\u003c/a> helped organize the iEmpathize event.

He said there are trafficking circuits nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the West, it starts from like Washington through Seattle, definitely through Alameda County, all over Oakland, and down through Bakersfield and in there, and then it comes through the Valley, L.A. and down to San Diego, out to Riverside and out to Vegas and through Texas,\" Carson said, pointing out that pimps are often able to move their victims from city to city to avoid being caught and prosecuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said a girl like Freeman could bring a pimp a quarter of a million dollars a year, tax-free. He said gangs are turning to selling kids instead of drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your product is reusable. Oree is reusable. I don't need to buy some meth, process it, sell it, buy some meth, process it, sell it. Eighteen different ways I can get busted there,\" Carson said. \"Oree, I just use her and use her and use her, and I have the internet and I'm removed from everything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said part of the problem is people either don't notice or don't say anything, leaving girls trapped in what he calls \"the life.\" Freeman’s pimp branded her when she was 12, tattooing his name in dark letters on her neck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nobody said a thing to a 12-year-old, and she's out there 6 in the morning turning tricks, and there's 100 people walking by her, giving her dirty looks,\" Carson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where iEmpathize comes in. Many sex trafficking victims come from schools, but other kids -- like student Vanessa Hernandez -- don't know what's going on or what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musician-turned-social activist Brad Riley founded iEmpathize in 2009. The program began in Denver and has expanded to Los Angeles and other parts of the country. Recently, the San Bernardino Unified School District brought the program to its classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Think about why crimes happen. If you were going through a hard time,\" Riley said. \"If no one helps you or notices you, then you never get help. If you're in a situation where you can't help yourself, you need someone to notice that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the iEmpathize \u003ca href=\"http://iempathize.org/empower/teens/\">\"Empower Youth\" program\u003c/a>, that means helping kids understand what it's like to be in a victim's shoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program's Guido Hajenius hands out index cards to the group and asks them to write down four of the most valuable things in their lives. It could be their family or even their dog. One by one, Hajenius tells them to cross off items from their list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But let's say something else happens to you and you are forced to remove even the last item on your list. Go ahead and cross that out,\" Hajenius tells the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can almost hear the room deflate. You're a teen. And you have nothing left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is what happens to victims of human trafficking, Hajenius said. The kids learn to respond, such as calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline if they see something. And they have a Q-and-A session with survivor Oree Freeman, who talks candidly with them about what it was like for her to get sucked into \"the life,\" a life she struggled to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freeman, who is now an advocate for sex trafficking victims, drives home the importance of speaking out, whether you are the one struggling or you are the one who sees something going on with a classmate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not that easy to talk to somebody,\" the 21-year-old tells the kids. \"But if you can start now, I can’t tell you how amazing of a person or young woman or young man that you will be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Anderson, of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/LongBeachHumanTraffickingTaskforce/\">Long Beach Human Trafficking Task Force,\u003c/a> helped organize the iEmpathize event. He said it's important to focus on kids, even though it's a difficult topic to talk about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're the ones getting propositioned online and after school and all these things,\" Anderson said. \"They're a huge, missing part of the solution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iEmpathize program opened student Vanessa Hernandez' eyes. She said she spent time during the session thinking about whether there were any kids at her school that could be going through this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it changed my perspective on things, like, people that are going through this because I would think, like, oh it's them, like, they're doing this, but now I know that it's not them,\" Hernandez said. \"They can't control it.

The issue has garnered much more attention in recent years, but a full account of how many people are trafficked in and through the Bay Area remains elusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is we really do not know the full scope of human trafficking in our community,” said San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón. “We know that it’s large.

Modern slavery here and in this time rarely involves shackles or chains, but it instead uses more subtle forms of bondage, including coercion, false pretenses, isolation, surveillance, threats of harm, economic dependence and threats to family members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haag mentioned two recent high-profile trafficking cases in California. Federal prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/usao/cas/press/2014/cas14-0108-PR_PittmanIndict.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed charges\u003c/a> against 24 alleged San Diego gang members on Jan. 8 for operating a prostitution ring spanning 46 cities in 23 states. They allegedly tattooed some of the 60 women victims, including 11 minors, with bar codes or gang symbols. Hayward police arrested two men that same day for running a sex-trafficking ring. Police say a 14-year-old girl who had been forced into prostitution led them to the suspects and two other victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials are stepping up enforcement of a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/human-trafficking/sb1193\" target=\"_blank\">state law\u003c/a> that took effect last April requiring some businesses to post phone numbers for national human trafficking victim services.

The issue has garnered much more attention in recent years, but a full account of how many people are trafficked in and through the Bay Area remains elusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is we really do not know the full scope of human trafficking in our community,” said San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón. “We know that it’s large. We know that there are many victims out there. We know that most victims are suffering in silence, but we just don’t know how big the problem is because it is so underreported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gap between known trafficking victims and estimates of their total is staggering. About 40,000 of the estimated 27 million trafficking victims worldwide have been identified, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/2013/\" target=\"_blank\">State Department\u003c/a>.

California and federal law define sex trafficking as forcing, coercing or transporting someone for the purpose of a commercial sex act.

Modern slavery here and in this time rarely involves shackles or chains, but it instead uses more subtle forms of bondage, including coercion, false pretenses, isolation, surveillance, threats of harm, economic dependence and threats to family members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haag mentioned two recent high-profile trafficking cases in California.

They allegedly tattooed some of the 60 women victims, including 11 minors, with bar codes or gang symbols. Hayward police arrested two men that same day for running a sex-trafficking ring. Police say a 14-year-old girl who had been forced into prostitution led them to the suspects and two other victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials are stepping up enforcement of a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/human-trafficking/sb1193\" target=\"_blank\">state law\u003c/a> that took effect last April requiring some businesses to post phone numbers for national human trafficking victim services.
