Guardian Group Identifies 1,000th Victim of Domestic Sex Trafficking in the U.S

BEND, Ore. - March 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Guardian Group, a leading nonprofit organization committed to combating domestic sex trafficking, proudly announces the identification of its 1,000th victim in the United States. This significant milestone highlights the organization's relentless dedication to preventing and disrupting the trafficking of women and children across the nation.

Since its founding, Guardian Group has been at the forefront of the battle against sex trafficking, working closely with law enforcement agencies to disrupt trafficking and identify victims. The identification of this 1,000th victim represents not just a number, but countless lives impacted and an enduring commitment to eradicating this horrific crime.

"Reaching 1,000 victims identified is a humbling and motivating achievement," said Jeff Keith, Founder and CEO of Guardian Group. "Every victim identified is worth celebrating, but this milestone also reinforces that our work is far from over. We are driven to continue our efforts, working hand-in-hand with law enforcement to ensure no more women and children are lost to trafficking."

Through its innovative approach, Guardian Group uses Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to identify potential trafficking victims online, equipping authorities with crucial information that leads to trafficker arrests and survivor recovery. Their expert analysis team, alongside the Project 1591 global volunteer force, has been instrumental in providing law enforcement agencies with the support needed to combat trafficking nationwide.

Since launching its victim identification program in 2018, Guardian Group has successfully identified 1,000 victims across 33 states. While this milestone is a significant moment in the fight against trafficking, the work is far from finished. With trafficking cases rising, Guardian Group is determined to expand its reach and strengthen partnerships to help more victims and disrupt traffickers on a larger scale.

"We are incredibly grateful to our donors and volunteers, whose unwavering support makes milestones like this possible," said Jeff Keith. "This is not just an achievement for Guardian Group; it's a victory for every victim, and we will continue to build on this momentum to make a lasting difference in the fight against human trafficking."
