I know that you may already be familiar with the UCSE, but to review, for the purposes of
our study, commercial sex act is defined as 90 :
any sex act in exchange for which anything of value is given to or received by any
person.
Here are some examples: prostitution; selling sex acts performed by children; production,
distribution, or sale of child pornography; and Internet-based commercial sex acts. We are
particularly interested in describing how the UCSE is tied to sex trafficking, such as
increasing the demand for sex trafficking or facilitating the transport of sex trafficking
victims.
I know that you may already be familiar with the definition of sex trafficking, but to review,
for the purposes of this study, sex trafficking is defined as:
The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for
either; (1) a commercial sex act through the use of force, fraud, or coercion; or (2) if
the person is under 18 years of age, any commercial sex act, regardless of whether any
form of coercion is involved. Note: These definitions do not require that victims be physically
transported from one location to another.
Do you have any initial questions about this definition of the UCSE before we start the
interview
