Rep. Mace on Unanimous Passage of her Human Trafficking Prevention Act

Statement

Today, Rep. Mace released the following statement on the passage of her Human Trafficking Prevention Act:

"Human trafficking is a crime that often goes unnoticed in our communities",said Rep. Mace. "Even something as simple as knowing who to call can help a victim free themselves from this horrific crime. Unfortunately, South Carolina is no stranger to these tragedies. In my own backyard of Goose Creek, 28 people faced human trafficking charges just last year. Thanks to the bipartisan leadership and unanimous support from my colleagues, we can ensure perpetrators of this heinous crime are held accountable and victims can receive the help they need."
