Friday Facts is a new series in which we will present a data point or bit of information from the latest set (2023) of Report Cards on Child and Youth Sex Trafficking. On every Friday this year, we will feature a fact from one state (or Washington, D.C.). During the course of 2024, we will walk through, in random order, all states plus the nation’s capital.
