Indiana Attorney General Reminds Travelers to Watch for Signs of Human Trafficking

While preparations are underway for spring break, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita wants you to stay vigilant for signs of human trafficking. Large gatherings and travel hubs are known to create more demand for trafficked people. Signs to watch for include:

  • Individuals who appear fearful, submissive, or unable to speak for themselves.

  • People living in cramped or poor conditions, or with their employer.

  • Signs of physical abuse, malnourishment, or lack of personal freedom.

  • Answers that seem scripted or rehearsed when questioned.

  • Minors engaging in commercial sex acts, with or without overt signs of coercion.

If you suspect someone is being trafficked, contact local law enforcement right away or call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.
