NEW ORLEANS — Security will be tight when the Super Bowl comes to town in less than three weeks, and part of the focus for authorities will be to target a disturbing form of organized crime.
Amid the glitz and glamor of what is one of the world’s biggest events lies a dark underworld, where advocacy groups say women and, far too often, underage girls are trafficked in for sex.
“The Super Bowl is actually estimated to be one of the largest human trafficking events in the world and it’s because anytime there is increased demand, there will increased supply,” said Kara Van de Carr, executive director of Eden House, a home for trafficking victims in New Orleans.
She said the trade is difficult to stop.
“(Victims are) delivered to a hotel or an apartment or wherever it is and all of that is beneath the radar and it’s very hard for law enforcement to detect that activity,” Van de Carr said.
