Maureen Guirguis Kenny, co-founder and co-director of the Human Trafficking Law Clinic at the School of Law, wrote an article for Fortune titled “Why the New Sex-Trafficking Law Is a Promising, But Limited, First Step.” The piece examines the newly instated Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) and the effects it might have on sex-trafficking websites. She also discusses the limits in the legislation’s power, including the imbalanced burden of proof and the possibility that these criminal operations will simply move elsewhere. Read the piece.
