Which indicator is commonly associated with trafficking and may involve possession of multiple devices and secrecy?

• A. Displaying tattoos or brands
• B. Having multiple phones and lying about them
• C. Lack of emotional attachment
• D. Talk about pornography

Answer: (B)

Possession of multiple devices and secrecy signals trafficking because traffickers rely on technology to control, monitor, and contact victims while keeping their activities hidden. When someone has more than one phone and lies about them, it suggests covert communications with a trafficker or clients and deliberate concealment of trafficking-related activity. This pattern reflects the coercive control that characterizes trafficking dynamics, making it a strong, direct indicator for investigators and providers. While other signs—like tattoos or brands, emotional detachment, or discussions of pornography—can appear in some cases, they do not point to trafficking as clearly or consistently as secretive use of multiple devices does.
