Trafficking is the movement of children and young people into, out of and within the UK. The focus of CROP’s work is on ‘internal’ trafficking. Internal trafficking is the movement of sexually exploited children and young people around the country (typically within and between towns and cities) by perpetrators for the purpose of sexual abuse and exploitation by individual men or groups of men in other locations. Trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation is defined in s.58 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and the maximum term of imprisonment is 14 years.
