Resolution No. 15-113
RESOLUTION TO AFFIRM BUTTE COUNTY'S COMMITMENT TO PREVENTING COMMERCIAL SEXUAL
EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN IN BUTTE COUNTY AND TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH ALL
COUNTY PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY, PROTECT, AND SERVE THESE VULERABLE CHILDREN AND YOUTH
IN THE MATTER OF the epidemic of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in the State of
California:
WHEREAS, the Butte County Board of Supervisors recognizes that the commercial sexual exploitation of
children is a pressing national, state, and local issue; and
WHEREAS, the FBI estimates that 100,000 children in the United States are sold for sex each year, including
child sex trafficking, child sex tourism, and child pornography; and
WHEREAS, three of the top thirteen highest trafficking areas in the nation are located in California: San
Francisco, Los Angeles, and the San Diego metropolitan areas; and
WHEREAS, county law enforcement, child welfare services, behavioral health, the courts, and community-based
organizations report increasing numbers of exploited underage victims; and
WHEREAS, counties have led the effort to address the unique needs of these youth, including working with law
enforcement and the courts to divert suspected exploited children; and
WHEREAS, county law enforcement, child welfare services, behavioral health, the courts, and community-based
organizations continue to grapple with identifying and assisting these youth but have also made significant gains in
meeting the unique needs of these traumatized children; and
WHEREAS, the need for intensive services tailored to minors who have been ensnared in the illegal sex
trafficking trade remains critical.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Butte, State
of California, affirm the County's commitment to developing and supporting strategies to prevent, reduce, and serve the
victims of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and work to eliminate sex trafficking in California.
