FILE - In this Dec. 1, 2017 file photo, silhouettes telling the stories of survivors are placed along the stairs leading to the second floor at the Sanctum House, a shelter for survivors of human trafficking, in Detroit, Mich. An Associated Press review in 2019 found at least 2,700 defendants have been charged with human trafficking at the state level across the U.S., but only about 1,000 were convicted of any crime since states started enacting the laws in 2003. Nearly 300 cases resulted in no conviction and hundreds of other cases remain pending. (Kimberly P. Mitchell/Detroit Free Press via AP, File)
