(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)As Tampa gears up for one of the most unusual Super Bowls in history, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody warns human trafficking is as big of a concern as ever.
Pandemic or not, Moody said, weekends with big events like the Super Bowl generate a lot of that money for those kinds of businesses.
According to Moody’s office, during the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami, there were 47 arrests for human trafficking-related charges.
AdMoody’s office teamed up with Uber, Airbnb and the Florida Beer Wholesalers Association to get their workers to recognize the signs of human trafficking.
