"A recent F.B.I. investigation ranked Portland second in the nation for number of child prostitutes apprehended during a three-day, cross-country search. There were 96 cases of underage sex trafficking in the Portland area during the first six months of 2009 alone.
Portland's location and trade links make it a popular destination for trafficking young girls, but another factor is Oregon's financial inability to address the problem. Prosecutions are few and far between, and when girls are discovered by local law enforcement there are few living arrangements available to them besides juvenile detention centers and foster care. Neither of those options is appropriate for a girl in such a unique circumstance; running away is their usual response, and most of them end up on the street and in the control of their pimps once again."
