The NYPD says it will be out “in full force” to combat sex trafficking during the FIFA World Cup, with officers monitoring known hotspots, transit hubs and hospitality venues across New York. Officials fear the influx of visitors could fuel demand for commercial sex and increase trafficking risks. Police are also working with hotels, hospitals and advocacy groups to identify victims and support rescue efforts. Authorities urged the public to report suspicious activity, stressing that a single tip could help save lives. The warning comes as New York prepares to host thousands of fans during the month-long tournament, according to the New York Post.
