Maggy Krell is a legal trailblazer who has taken on impactful cases as a criminal prosecutor and human rights lawyer. She was a prosecutor for 15 years, serving as Supervising Deputy Attorney General in California and cross-designated as a Special Assistant United States Attorney. Her most notable accomplishments stem from her tireless efforts to combat human trafficking and protect and empower survivors, including her ground-breaking prosecution of the sex-trafficking website, Backpage.com. Krell also served as Chief Legal Counsel for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California where she fought to protect and expand reproductive rights and access to healthcare. Krell currently runs her own practice providing legal support and impact strategy for survivors and non-profit organizations.In TAKING DOWN BACKPAGE, veteran prosecutor Maggy Krell tells the gripping behind-the-scenes story of leading the legal charge against Backpage.com, a website that claimed to be a marketplace for all manner of sales and connections, but truly had one money-making function: to accept advertisements for commercial sex, many of which featured sex trafficking victims who were forced or coerced into being on the site, including children. In doing so she describes a new and more just way of prosecuting human trafficking in the U.S. In the book Krell does a masterful job of explaining sex trafficking in the United States and how the legal framework around it has evolved over the last 20 years. Dispelling popular myths about who human trafficking impacts and how it occurs, Krell zeroes in on the most vulnerable targets: children from poor neighborhoods who have suffered abuse in their own homes and then been failed by the child welfare system. Too often treated as criminals instead of victims, sexually exploited teenagers would formerly languish in the criminal justice system while their traffickers flew under the radar. And many in law enforcement struggled to recognize this larger pattern and the ways in which vulnerable teenagers—who were disproportionately girls and women of color—were being exploited and then punished. STORY NOTES:🖐️ About Taking Down Backpackage🖐️ What Human Trafficking is, and Who is Affected by it🖐️ Why it’s so Difficult for Men and Women Who are Trafficked to Get Out of “The Life”🖐️ Why it’s Difficult for Law Enforcement to Find Traffickers and Bring Them to Justice🖐️ How Maggy’s Work in the Case Against Backpage.com Illustrates How this Can be Done, and Why it Can and Should be a Model Moving ForwardYou can find out more about Maggy by visiting:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maggy.krellInstagram: https://twitter.com/maggykrellLearn more at https://www.comfortcases.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Fostering Change | Maggy Krell

For almost a decade, Backpage.com was the world’s largest sex trafficking operation. Seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, in 800 cities throughout the world, Backpage ran thousands of listings advertising the sale of vulnerable young people for sex. Reaping a cut off every transaction, the owners of the website raked in millions of dollars. But many of the people in the advertisements were children, as young as 12, and forced into the commercial sex trade through fear, violence and coercion.In Taking Down Backpage, veteran California prosecutor Maggy Krell tells the story of how she and her team battled against this sex trafficking monolith. Beginning with her early career as a young DA, she shares the evolution of the anti-human trafficking movement. Through a fascinating combination of memoir and legal insight, Krell reveals how she and her team started with the prosecution of street pimps and ultimately ended with the takedown of the largest purveyor of human trafficking in the world. She shares powerful stories of interviews with survivors, sting operations, court cases, and the personal struggles that were necessary to bring Backpage executives to justice. Finally, Krell examines the state of sex trafficking after Backpage and the crucial work that still remains.Taking Down Backpage is a gripping story of tragedy, overcoming adversity, and the pursuit of justice that gives insight into the fight against sex trafficking in the digital age.

TAKING DOWN BACKPAGE-Maggy Krell

Happy Human Trafficking Awareness Month! I first met Maggy Krell back when Backpage was in the press as making millions of dollars off of exploitation. As a young person in my career, I was super inspired to see this badass woman taking on these criminals head-on. In this episode we talk about sex trafficking online, the Backpage case and how it went down, how she handles a high-stress job, and how to fight sex trafficking long term.   ABOUT MAGGY Maggy Krell is nationally recognized as a legal trailblazer who has dedicated her entire career to seeking justice for vulnerable victims. She served as deputy for four Attorney Generals, taking on high impact cases against predatory lenders who took advantage of struggling families, sex traffickers that preyed on vulnerable teenagers, and attorneys that used their position of trust to exploit immigrant families. She is well known as the lead prosecutor on the case against Backpage, known as one of the busiest places online for the exploitation of sex trafficking victims. She currently serves at Chief Legal Counsel for Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.   FOLLOW OUR GUEST Follow Maggy on Twitter   RATE &amp; REVIEW  Rate &amp; Review on iTunes!
