why it is hard to procecute sex trafficking cases in the US?

Why it is hard to prosecute sex trafficking cases in the US as follows.


The first reason is the accusers are tough to be available.
For one thing, the victims are scared to testify. Take the victim for an example，the 19-year had been conditioned by those who brought her to Okaloosa County to fear law enforcement. The young woman was so terrified that she trembled with fear and wouldn't utter a word to sheriff's deputies and investigators, let alone cooperate with an investigation aimed at prosecuting her exploiters. In addition, according to U.S Constitution, someone has the right to face their accusers in court, which undoubtedly makes accusers feel more scared to provide testimony.
Another thing is the unwillingness of victims to cooperate with the authorities. the unwillingness of victims to testify against their exploiters makes it tough to testify against exploiters.
Support point 1:Inspector George Collins, a criminal intelligence specialist at the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, said "We've found it's tough to investigate and prosecute a human trafficking case because either the victims are too afraid or they just want to get back home as soon as they can...."
Support point2: "If the offenses have escalated to criminal offenses that would warrant a jury trial, convincing victims to stay in the United States for another year to testify at trial is nearly impossible," Collins said，"These victims don't want to stick around for two years and put their life back home on hold to testify. They want to go home and forget about it...."
Support point 3:Anna Rodriguez, the founder of the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, said the unwillingness of victims to cooperate with the authorities is one of the biggest obstacles in putting criminals behind bars.
The second reason is arrests and prosecutions are hard to come by.
With human trafficking, given the international crime syndicates often involved in operations across the country and even in Okaloosa County.
The third reason is tipstaff 's personal demarche makes traffickers away from punishment.
Support point 1: Inspector George Collins, a criminal intelligence specialist at the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said he measures his success not by arrests and prosecutions but by how many people he can rescue from potentially dangerous situations and then relocate them out of harm's way.
Support point 2: Okaloosa County Sheriff Charlie Morris said ,"We sometimes have to prosecute other offenses to shut down the operation. I'm going to be persistent in doing everything I can to put traffickers out of business in Okaloosa County."
The fourth reason is rules and regulations of U.S law make exploiters free of law enforcement. Firstly, Some of the programs are legitimate and above board.Secondly, accusing traffickers must comply with the administration and procedure of U.S. law.
Support point 1: "Some of these operations are above board and some are completely crooked from the ground up." Collins said,"Prosecuting the crooked organizations can be difficult because more often than not, worker exploitation cases are handled in a civil and administrative manner, in accordance with U.S. labor law."
Support point2: Anna Rodriguez, the founder of the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, said "When we find the victims and identify the perpetrators, all of that takes a long time. There's surveillance that's done and you have multiple jurisdictions and you have to wait to get an indictment, and sometimes you won't see an arrest in these cases for six weeks…."
The fifth reason is a conflict exists between rescuing victims and prosecuting sex trafficking cases.
Support point : Anna Rodriguez, the founder of the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, said "Yes, we want to see people in jail for these crimes but our first priority is rescuing these victims as soon as possible."
