Which of the following is a crime under ARS regarding sex trafficking?

The crime defined under Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) regarding sex trafficking is the exploitation of individuals for sexual acts. This is specifically outlined in laws that aim to address the severe and exploitative nature of sex trafficking, recognizing it as a form of human trafficking where individuals are coerced, forced, or manipulated into engaging in sexual acts for the profit of others. The law focuses on protecting vulnerable individuals and penalizing those who exploit them in such heinous ways.

In contrast, other options present crimes that, while serious, do not specifically relate to the act of sex trafficking. Burglary typically involves unlawful entry into a structure with intent to commit a crime, primarily focused on property. Kidnapping involves unlawfully seizing and carrying away a person by force or fraud, emphasizing the aspect of unlawful restraint rather than sexual exploitation. Theft pertains to the unlawful taking of someone else’s property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it, which does not inherently involve any sexual element. Thus, the distinct nature of exploiting individuals for sexual acts specifically relates to sex trafficking laws.
