By Travis Gulbrandson travis.gulbrandson@plaintalk.net Brendan Johnson, U.S. Attorney for the District of South Dakota, said his office is making human trafficking and abuse its number-one priorities. “Here in South Dakota, we’re not immune (to these issues),” he said. Johnson discussed the topic during a meeting with the attendees of South Dakota American Legion Auxiliary 2014 Girls State, which is currently taking place at the University of South Dakota. “In the history of the United States, 13 men have received life sentences for commercial sex trafficking. Three of those have come from South Dakota in the last four years,” he told the audience at the Tuesday morning assembly in Aalfs Auditorium. “What we want to do is send a message loud and clear: If you engage in this, if this is what you do in South Dakota, we’re going to put you away for the rest of your life,” he said. When Johnson took over as U.S. Attorney about five years ago, South Dakota had never prosecuted a sex trafficking case before. That’s no longer the case, Johnson said, with the state handing out the longest-ever sentence for human trafficking in the country in one instance. One of the keys to combating the issue is training for all law enforcement officers in the state. With training, an officer will see a woman in a prostitution case not as a criminal, but as a potential victim, Johnson said. The most common demographics for female victims in sex trafficking are being 13-30 years old, usually closer to 13, drug and alcohol abuse, and coming from homes with limited supervision, he said. “One of the biggest causes I think we see is, oftentimes, young females are gravitating to someone that initially they consider a father figure,” he said. “Because this isn’t a (case) where the trafficker says, ‘Hey, how would you like to become a teen prostitute?’” Another priority of Johnson’s office is violence against women in general, he said. That includes all Don’s Dust Control • Horse Arenas • Private Drives • Unpaved Roads • Elevator Access • Free Estimates U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson told delegates of Girls State Tuesday to not be afraid to pursue opportunities. “You are the future leaders of tomorrow, and we need you,” he said.

That’s the highest percentage for any group in the United States. … “That’s not an Indian problem, that’s not a reservation problem, that’s a South Dakota problem,” he said. Johnson asked that the Girls State attendees consider taking a career in law. “I’m a big believer that in many instances women make the best prosecutors,” he said. “With the male attorneys in our office, if there’s a promotion, when it comes to applying for that job they all think they’re ready, but they’re not,” he said. “With the females, it’s harder sometimes to get them to seize the opportunity, because so many of the female attorneys I have in my office say, ‘You know what? I don’t think I’m experienced enough, I don’t think I’m qualified enough to go for the promotion.’” Johnson advised the girls to seize opportunities even if they don’t think they’re ready to take them on. “Your mindset needs to be, ‘This is something I want to do, and this is something I can learn to do while I’m doing it.’ Be bold. Be aggressive. You are the future leaders of tomorrow, and we need you,” he said.
