Jul 17 - Prosecution of Child-s3x Traffickers Plummeted Under Trump
↪ https://www.courthousenew .. d-under-trump/
For many victims, last week’s incarceration of s3x offender Jeffrey Epstein represents belated justice after more than a decade of impunity and governmental complicity.
Beneath that gloomy surface, however, an even darker picture emerges: federal prosecutions of those who trafficked children for s3x dropped 26.7% over the last year.
The startling numbers appeared Tuesday in a ↪ report from the tr@nsactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
“If the present pace of such prosecutions continues, the fiscal 2019 total will be 162, compared to 221 last year,” TRAC’s report states.
The Obama administration dramatically ramped up such prosecutions, climbing threefold from 85 cases in 2009, the year the 44th president took office, to more than 260 during his final year in the White House.
While those prosecutions held steady in the first year under President Donald Trump, TRAC’s analysis of Justice Department data says they have taken a dramatic plunge every year since.
“Compared to five years ago, the estimate of FY 2019 prosecutions of this type is down 32.2 percent, from 239,” the study says. “However, prosecutions over the past year are still much higher than they were ten years ago, up 90.6 percent from the 85 reported in 2009.”
TRAC obtained the data under the Freedom of Information Act.

Strange that an accused ped0 like Trump who hired Acosta, a known ped0 defender and protector, would do something like this
