CSEC issue update

Rita McGaw, the District Attorney’s Victim-Witness Program supervisor, is the first point of contact with survivors, connecting them with immediate services.
The Human Trafficking Task Force (established by the County District Attorney) includes representation from DSS, Sheriff, and other agencies. It's particularly focused on responding to the  commercial sexual exploitation of children, or CSEC. This Independent article provides an update on the issue, and the use of the RISE grant secured from the US Dept of Justice. It's not specific to DSS alone, but will be of interest to many DSS staff.
