Garnet Valley, United States - October 12, 2023 /PressCable/ —
Joshua Gillispie is one of the partners at Green and Gillispie, a leading law office dedicated to helping sex trafficking and sexual abuse victims. Appointed by Abuse Guardian—America’s only alliance of dedicated sexual abuse lawyers—as its advocate for Arkansas, he is confident that his firm can now provide legal support to more abuse survivors across the state.

The announcement comes as the scourge of sex trafficking continues to grow. According to the most recent Global Estimates of Modern Slavery report, there were over 27.6 million reported global human trafficking cases last year. Of this number, 6.3 million were sexual exploitation victims.
While many Americans believe a wealthy country like the US is immune from this problem, recent reports indicate that human trafficking and sex trafficking are increasingly common on US soil. Sadly, the latest figures from Deliver Fund show that almost 60,000 women are reported as being trafficked for sexual exploitation annually in the US.
Abuse Guardian and Joshua Gillispie, Esq. believe these figures are unacceptable and they hope to become the first port of call for any trafficking survivor in Arkansas who wants to report and sue their abuser. As they explain, “Survivors often face significant challenges in navigating the criminal and civil justice systems. Recognizing this need for compassionate legal support, we are committed to helping survivors seek justice and hold sex traffickers accountable.”
Although sex trafficking is a criminal offense, Gillispie encourages victims to file a civil lawsuit against their trafficker and any organizations that were party to their trafficking and abuse. By pursuing a civil litigation suit, he believes victims can attain more meaningful justice.
Joshua Gillispie said, “Pursuing civil suits allows survivors to seek reparations for their injuries and suffering, such as compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. By holding companies accountable for their involvement in sex trafficking activities, these lawsuits aim to bring about societal change and prevent future instances of human trafficking.”
Together Abuse Guardian and Mr. Gillispie can also help victims throughout any criminal proceedings and connect them with a wealth of state-provided survivor support services. They begin all of their legal representation services with a complimentary consultation.
