ATLANTA (CBS46) - Atlanta is one of the largest hubs for human trafficking in the country. January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and those who try to save these girls and boys sold against their will for sex say it happens all around us, often in plain sight.
Georgia's State Attorney General Samuel Olens calls human trafficking a brutal, complex and widespread crime. Olens says vulnerable people, often children, are sold and forced to have sex against their will.

Those who trap these kids know exactly what to say to lure them in, quickly enslaving them, said Bowley. And those who buy these young sex slaves are no better.
"They are forced to sell themselves between eight and 12 times a night. We know that they don't get the money, and sometimes they are very deprived, sometimes drugged to stay awake so they can perform more."

but I am for the death penalty for this kind if scum...and I am mostly a pacifist...mostly.

And now in Georgia, Assistant Attorney General Camila Wright may have lost her husband to these sick, evil subhumans. Perhaps it was some other reason, but this seems high on the list.

Attorney General Sam Olens appointed Zolfagharis wife as Georgias statewide prosecutor for human trafficking in October 2014. Before that, Wright spent three years overseeing the Fulton County Human Trafficking Unit, which she established during her time with the Fulton County District Attorneys Office.
In Fulton, Wright secured convictions and guilty pleas for 19 traffickers, including two life sentences.
