The recent announcement comes at a time when sex trafficking continues to be a large-scale problem across New York, with over two thousand people believed to have been sexually exploited or put at risk for sexual exploitation each year in New York City alone.
The National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) reports that New York ranks fourth in the nation for reported cases of sexual exploitation and labor trafficking, a fact that presents a growing concern for the state. As a national alliance of lawyers specializing in sexual abuse cases, Abuse Guardian advocates for survivors throughout the legal process from start to finish, with a focus on securing justice and giving victims the power to reclaim their lives.
“Kat Thomas understands the pain and trauma that survivors of sex trafficking and human trafficking face,” explains Abuse Guardians. “Survivors deserve the best legal representation, and as an experienced sex trafficking lawyer Kat is here to provide that here in NY.”
Abuse Guardian pursues civil litigation against traffickers and others who seek to profit from sexual abuse.
The experienced team of attorneys can also give assistance for trafficking victims to get T-visas and other types of immigration documentation, as well as help with restitution and processing of compensation claims.
Led by Kat Thomas, Esq., the Abuse Guardian legal team in New York City is active in survivor advocacy work and fights to enact policy changes that will strengthen legal protections for trafficking victims and their families.
For those who may suspect a case of sex trafficking and wish to learn more about common red flags, Abuse Guardian provides a comprehensive list of signs on their website, including physical, behavioral, work-related, and environmental indicators, as well as information about organizations that provide safe housing.
