NCMEC STATEMENT ON #BACKPAGE DEVELOPMENTS

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children just learned that Backpage.com was seized by the #FBI, #IRS, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service with analytical assistance from the Joint Regional Intelligence Center. This is another step in the years-long fight against the exploitation of child victims who were bought and sold for sex on Backpage.com. #NCMEC is waiting alongside the rest of the world to see what will come next. We stand by the victims and their families as they process this news and continue to fight for justice against those who profited from their abuse. #SexTrafficking
