Unity Breakfast to Focus on Human Trafficking

The 5th Annual Celebrating Life Unity Breakfast on February 8th will focus on the tragic reality of human trafficking, a form of modern day slavery.  This event is the first time this issue will have been discussed at a public forum of this size in the area.

Exploitation is at the heart of human trafficking. In the case of sex trafficking, the primary focus of this event, exploitation implies the forced prostitution or sexual abuse of vulnerable men, women and children. Sadly, our collar counties are seeing a rise in such cases. Crystal Lake, McHenry and Algonquin have seen prostitution arrests at massage parlors, child porn distribution arrests and even a former McHenry County Sheriff plea bargaining for 30 years in prison for child abuse and sexual exploitation including child pornography all within the last three months!
