It is not really surprising to discover that Nevada makes the list of 11 worst states for human trafficking in America, considering it allows prostitution in 11 counties. In such counties, pimps often traffic underaged children by creating false identities and therefore confirming their presence in the sex trade. Also, while prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, 90 percent of it occurs in Vegas, and this combined with 24-hour gambling and ease of access in respect of alcohol and drugs has seen it become the face of sex trafficking of the country.
