Abstract
Cybersex trafficking is a complex harrowing global reality. Where human trafficking for sex was previously restricted to physical contact, human trafficking has become increasingly virtual. The world wide web (WWW) has become an ideal forum for the enticement, capture, and control of victims for cybersex. This chapter examines this reality. It first explains human trafficking and demonstrates the appealing move to online for the generation of profit through cybersex, all at the expense of victims. Second, it outlines the dynamics involved in cybersex trafficking. The chapter then isolates efforts to stave off the exponential growth of this industrial complex. Finally, it isolates particular areas of research for further study.
