SARASOTA, Fla. -- Human trafficking on the Suncoast is a problem that hides in the shadows, with women (and some men) young and old held captive and sold for sex. ABC 7 spoke with a Lieutenant in charge of a task force set up to prevent human trafficking, and with a mother who was willing to risk everything to save her daughter from the dark underworld of drugs and prostitution.
