The Comment, New Illinois Legislation Combats Modern-Day Slavery: A Comparative Analysis of Illinois Anti-Trafficking Law with Its Federal and State Counterparts, by John Tanagho, published in Volume 38, No. 4, reported that "approximately 16,000 juveniles are prostituted in Chicago each year."¹ While the Nevada Law Journal, the source cited for this statistic, makes this assertion, clarification is required.² The Nevada Law Journal's source actually reported that 16,000 is the estimated number of total prostitutes in Chicago, both women and girls, with a third of those saying "they started trading sex for money before the age of 15."³ The author discovered this factual error during a post-publication conversation and apologizes for any confusion.
