Marisol Nichols sits down with Corporal (Ret.) Alan Wilkett to discuss the harsh realities of human trafficking, emphasizing its alarming shift from the streets to the digital world. They also reveal how brothels have evolved into seemingly innocent establishments, where women and minors are often forced to work. They highlight the crucial role of laws like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in combating this crime and underline recent initiatives such as Florida's 'John Registry' for public accountability. Further, discussing concerns over legalizing sex work, they emphasize how this might conceal human trafficking activities. Join them as they navigate the complexities of human trafficking and explore potential solutions to help survivors and to eliminate trafficking in our society. About Corporal (Ret.) Alan Wilkett For almost three decades, Corporal (Ret.) Alan Wilkett has devoted his career in service to the community with the Pasco Sheriff's Office, sacrificing his own safety and security for the greater good. From patrolling the streets to investigating major crimes, securing the courts, and preventing further criminal activity, Wilkett has selflessly gone above and beyond in every assignment in law enforcement. His hard work and dedication were recognized in 2007 when he was named Law Enforcement Deputy of the Year, and in October 2019, he was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Florida Crime Prevention Association. Along with his exemplary work, Wilkett co-founded the Human Trafficking Foundation, which furthered his mission of bringing justice and eradicating modern-day slavery.
