Human trafficking increase expected during Super Bowl

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Florida law enforcement officials expect human trafficking to increase during next month’s Super Bowl. They’re asking hotel workers, ride-hailing service drivers and security personnel to be alert and notify them of any suspicious activity. Authorities said at a news conference Thursday that the people most often enslaved for sex work are young girls. They note that events such as the Feb. 2 Super Bowl provide a perfect setting for trafficking. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody says the way to stop trafficking is to enlist everyone’s help.
