If you hear something or see something, speak up. Report suspected child sex trafficking at https://t.co/e8F5iccD4E or call 1-800-THE-LOST. Children may not recognize they’re being exploited or feel safe seeking help. They might fear being arrested, face violence from their trafficker, feel shame or guilt, or distrust systems meant to protect them.

Since 2020, our prosecutors have led the charge— establishing case law, strengthening Indiana’s Possession of a Machine Gun statute, and helping remove these devices from our streets.

📊 2025 impact:

• 69 cases prosecuted
• 86% conviction rate
