Sex-trafficking is big business and it's become a big problem in Kansas. Every day, women and children are held captive - usually through coercion - and forced into prostitution.

Prosecuting those who profit from this trade is a top priority for Barry Grissom, the U.S. Attorney for Kansas. KPR's J. Schafer recently spoke to him about the extent of the problem in Kansas.
