What is Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) and the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC)?
 

Definition of DMST:“The recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act where the person is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident under the age of 18 years,” (Trafficking Victims Protection Act, 2000).

Definition of CSEC: Sexual activity involving a child in exchange for something of value or promise thereof, to the child or another person. In this situation, the child is being treated as a commercial sexual object.  Per Georgia Law, CSEC is a form of violence and abuse against children. (O.C.G.A. 19-7-5(B)(11)).
