In 2003, the FBI in conjunction with NCMEC and the U.S. Department of Justice's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative to address the growing problem of domestic child sex trafficking. NCMEC, a part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative, provides assistance to law enforcement agencies in their efforts to identify and recover victims of child sex trafficking and prosecute the offenders. Child Sex Trafficking Team services are only available to law enforcement. Did you know… One in seven endangered runaways reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in 2013 were likely sex trafficking victims. Purpose and function As a part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative NCMEC serves as a clearinghouse for information obtained from the public and Electronic Service Providers about victims of child sex trafficking. NCMEC also provides analytical and technical assistance to law enforcement investigating these cases and dedicates case management support for missing children victimized through sex trafficking. The Child Sex Trafficking Team provides comprehensive analytical services to law enforcement and helps link cases of possible child sex trafficking to missing child cases known to NCMEC.
