Giving Back, Attorney General Sam Olens Talks Fighting Sex Trafficking of Minors | WABE 90.1 FM

January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

The sex trafficking of minors placed Georgia in the national spotlight after a FBI lists of cities with a high incidence of the crime included Atlanta.

Since then, there’s been a collective effort among advocates, lawmakers, survivors and others to combat sex trafficking.

In part one of this report, WABE’s Rose Scott profiles Georgia’s current attorney general Sam Olens.

Olens calls himself a newbie in the fight against sex trafficking.

He praises national organizations and local advocacy groups such as StreetGrace and YouthSpark who have spent many years in trying to protect Georgia’s children

“It’s been my honor to assist them, but it’s also what we’re supposed to do to protect those that have no one looking out for them.”
