DEAR FRIENDS

For the past decade, the XX Network (XX) has been combating the child sex-trafficking industry across the globe. We have undertaken operations throughout Southeast Asia and Africa, and more recently in the United States. Despite deep trust networks with sophisticated partners and proven prevention, rescue, and placement strategies, there is still so much more to be done.

THE GLOBAL SEX TRADE PROSTITUTES TWO MILLION CHILDREN A YEAR (UNICEF) 

XX operates at the frontline of counter-trafficking, represented by experts across various disciplines:

▪ Military Intelligence – for the elicitation of crucial information and evidence.

▪ Special Forces – for the planning and coordination of covert operations.

▪ Undercover Investigators – for strategic access to victims and traffickers in the field.

XX engages trusted local and international partners to infiltrate organized trafficking syndicates and networks. These relationships are crucial because effective counter-trafficking is a collaborative effort. 

XX combats the trafficking of minors into the sex industry through:

▪ Covert Investigations: we work with strategic government departments, enforcement agencies, and NGOs to ensure our infiltration operations result in cases that can be prosecuted in a court of law.

▪ Coordinated ‘Sting’ Operations: we plan, coordinate, and assist raids on trafficking networks based on proven Intel and hard evidence.

▪ Smart Rescue: we assist in the recovery journey of each victim to maximize the likelihood of successful rehabilitation and reintegration.

Longevity is crucial to winning the fight against organized crime. XX strictly adheres to privacy protocols and security measures to sustain its undercover operations. XX works within appropriate legal frameworks to protect investigators and their collected intelligence.

XX intentionally maintains a low public profile and avoids taking credit for operational successes; you will not see our name in the public domain.

Your Call to Action: Transactions in the child sex industry have now surpassed those in the illegal arms business. With your help, we are saving children who have already been entrapped as well as systematically dismantling the industry to prevent the devastation of children in the future.

 

WHO IS XX?

XX is an international team of experts dedicated to ending the global sex-trafficking of minors by dismantling organized crime operations and prosecuting individuals who profit from this modern-day slavery.

Vision - To see the holistic liberation of every child enslaved in the sex industry into a world where sex trafficking no longer exists

Mission

▪ To rescue minors through evidence-based ‘sting’ operations and strategic integration programs 

▪ To enforce justice on child sex-trafficking networks through local prosecutors and legal systems

▪ To equip partners in counter-trafficking techniques through alliances with experts across multiple disciplines

Values

We prioritize every child’s immediate safety and long-term recovery. Simply, a child’s welfare must come first. We strictly monitor the safety of each child throughout rescue operations to minimize related trauma. Post rescue, we safely transfer victims to verified organizations for recovery and integration. We are fiercely committed to long-term wins.  We operate with the rewards of long-term success in mind, at times at huge personal risks and at the expense of quick wins. We are willing to operate in high-need, high-risk scenarios - often gaps left by federal/local police or NGOs without the flexibility to act as we do.

We operate with tactical intelligence in the field

Our team’s deep experience and expertise in covert, deep-cover missions and intelligence gathering (including cyber intelligence) enables us to maximize child and team safety as well as prosecution outcomes. We operate with precision and efficiency.

We deploy the best agents and keep them healthy

We only accept the most capable agents through a rigorous recruitment process. We appreciate the potential toll of the work and employ strict protocols that include regular counselling and psychological evaluations to sustain the long-term impact of our work.

XX Network 2020 Report

The successful arrest of Alexander Trofimov (Russian) on 17 charges of sexual abuse of minors, with the youngest victim just six years old.

Despite the successful execution of abuse charges, further investigation into his involvement with international trafficking have not been pursued (due to reasons beyond our control). 

Trofimov was deported to Russia after an (unofficial) case leak triggered an international demand for swift justice. Trofimov posed as a businessman with suspected links to the Russian mafia. Further information about this story can be found here*.
