9:15 – 10:15Sex Trafficking Conspiracy Theories: Reality?  Whacky?  Or something else?

There seems to be a conspiracy being “uncovered” all the time these days, and no matter how outlandish they may be, they seem to have no trouble drawing in ardent believers.  According to University of Chicago political science professors Eric Oliver and Thomas Wood, in any given year roughly half of Americans believe in at least one conspiracy.  
 
In this presentation, Safe Harbor Regional Navigators Anne LaFrinier-Richie and Allan Bakke will address a few of the sex trafficking conspiracies that are circulating now, why people are attracted to them and how they impact the work being done by communities across the state to address sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
