Sen. Sasse Bringing Human Trafficking Hearing To Lincoln On Links To Financial Systems

LINCOLN – U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse is holding a hearing in Lincoln regarding “human trafficking and its intersection with the financial system.”

The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Subcommittee will hear testimony from Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, Human Trafficking Initiative CEO Crysta Price, State Sen. Julie Slama and Financial Integrity Network vice president David Murray.

Sasse: “Modern slavery is a stain on our society. Human trafficking is a despicable, multi-billion-dollar business that profits from the suffering of vulnerable women and young children. We owe it to these enslaved victims to shine a light on this black market and bring low-lifes to justice.”

The hearing is scheduled at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at the Nebraska Department of Transportation office, 1500 Highway 2.
