“Sex trafficking can only flourish where there’s a demand for commercial sex,” Sheriff Whit Clark said. “Reducing this demand is just one part of attacking sex trafficking in our communities.

“I concur with Sheriff Clark that turning people’s bodies into commodities isn’t right under any circumstances, and we want to make sure it’s deterred in the town of Altavista. We value our partnership with the Sheriff’s Office,” Sheriff Whit Clark, Altavista Police Chief, said.
