What is human trafficking in Chicago?
Human trafficking is compelling another person into labor, services, or commercial sexual activity through force, fraud, or coercion. Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/10-9) charges trafficking in persons, involuntary servitude, and involuntary sexual servitude of a minor as Class X or Class 1 felonies, and trafficking victims are shielded from prosecution for prostitution.
Chicago PD records these under trafficking IUCR descriptions for involuntary servitude and commercial sexual exploitation. Official report counts are low and widely considered to understate actual prevalence, since cases often surface through federal task forces.
