Protecting the Victims of Human Trafficking

We need to stop letting traffickers take control of the lives of victims even after they have been trafficked. The state of Ohio needs to clear criminal records of all victims forced into committing crimes under their trafficker.

Why is this important?

People who find themselves victims of human trafficking are no different than us, and often times, we never really know when someone is experiencing this. These people are often forced into committing crimes and get a criminal record that prevents them from getting a job or buying a home after they escape their trafficker's wrath. Imagine someone in your family was experiencing this, you would want others to help too.
