Sex trafficking in Atlanta brings in $300 million a year, according to this city’s mayor, and the problem is getting worse, particularly at its airport. Andre Dickens said an increase in flight passengers in and out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport makes it a nucleus for sexual exploitation and forced labor cases and “means more incidents that we have to catch.” Dickens added, “While I personally believe that there is a place in hell for anybody that would engage in this business, what I know for sure is that there is a place in jail for those who are caught in Atlanta.” ktvz.com
