About Us
After forming the non-profit organization Stop Child Rape For Profit, Inc. the StreetLight Program was launched on January 27, 2009. StreetLight exists to provide safe housing, produce and environment for life transformation and prevent further risk of exploitation to victims of child sex slavery.
Child sex slavery is often identified as an overseas issue; however, buying sex with a child has become part of the multi-billion dollar sex industry in America. The average age of entry for a child sold into prostitution in the United States in 13. The National Center for missing and Exploited Children estimates that more than 100,000 children are brought into this industry to be sold for sex every year. This means that overall more than 300,000 of these young victims are on the streets of the United States working at any given time. Major cities in the United States in the United States, such as Phoenix are facing the realities of this overwhelming problem.
Even more alarming are the number of girls who are forcibly taken from shopping malls, lured away from parties and other public events to be drugged, branded and brutally conditioned to be prostituted against their will; these young girls endure the most grotesque forms of torture.
Having few choices, law enforcement agencies must process these victims as criminals and place them in either juvenile detention centers or send them to jail. Beyond the sexual abuse, these young girls, some as young as nine years of age, suffer from severe psychological, emotional and social abuse. Once they are released and with nowhere to go these victims return to their pimps. StreetLight takes a revolutionary approach to eradicate child sex slavery by providing safe housing, producing the environment for life transformation and preventing exploitation from child sex slavery.
