NBC Chicago Uncovers how Backpage.com Facilitates and Profits from Child Sex Trafficking

NBC 5 Chicago shares how Backpage.com is named as a defendant in a civil complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, IL by personal injury law firm, Romanucci & Blandin. Chicago attorneys Gina Arquilla DeBoni and Bhavani Raveendran of Romanucci & Blandin represent the mother of Desiree Robinson, a 16-year-old girl who was featured in solicitation posts on backpage.com and was brutally murdered in a Markham garage on Christmas Eve 2016. The website backpage.com is regarded by the Cook County Sheriff’s Anti-Trafficking Task Force as a vehicle for pimps to manipulate young people for money and is the subject of a number of investigations around the country for alleged sex trafficking activities. NBC Chicago explores how Romanucci & Blandin is working with Desiree’s family to make sure Backpage.com can no longer create an online marketplace to profit from the sex trafficking of children.
