Episode 21: What To Do When Human Trafficking Is Happening In Your Backyard

Episode 21 of A Priest and a Rabbi! By now you've likely heard about the sex and human trafficking rings involving local massage parlors. It's a story that touches not only the Treasure Coast, but as far away as New York and even China. This week, Father Christian and Rabbi Durbin bring Roberta Katz into the studio to discuss human trafficking. Roberta is the Chair of Human Trafficking Coalition for the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee, and she explains how widespread human trafficking is, how young girls can get caught up in it, and the signs to look out for.
