Thank you for sharing and I hope this girl and her family can move on from this horrific episode of her life, which only would have been infinitely more horrific, if it had not been for your team and you.

Subject: Missing 17 year old recovered in under a week using Traffic Jam

Dear Autonians,

Remember the Super Bowl in Houston in 2017? That's when we first put our "first appearance" stratifiers in counter-sex-trafficking software to a systematic use. Marinus then made it a permanent part of their product, Traffic Jam. It has just been announced that this capability was essential in rescuing a sex trafficked minor in the UK during the past week. This is just a snippet of a large collection of instances in which software developed at CMU Auton Lab helps reclaim lives of the most vulnerable persons.

Congratulations, especially to everyone on theTeam who contributed to developing Traffic Jam!

Cheers,

Artur

Missing 17 year old recovered in under a week using Traffic Jam

The First Appearance feature in Traffic Jam led to the identification of a minor last week. First Appearance displays any ads in your area where the phone number(s) and photo(s) have never been observed before by the system. 

During the COVID-19 crisis, First Appearance can be utilized as a proactive safeguarding method to detect vulnerable and exploited persons entering sex work when social distancing and lockdowns are in effect. 

Where Can You Find First Appearance?

You can find First Appearance under the Leads tab on the top menu bar in Traffic Jam. Be mindful of the possibility of spam/scam ads appearing in this report. This type of content involves the same phone number appearing in many cities on a single day.
