Tiffany Graham, Dean of the University of South Dakota Law School, defines "survival sex" as the exchange of sex for basic necessities like food and shelter. LGBTQ youth are statistically more likely to engage in this trade due to high rates of homelessness.

Statistics from the Department of Housing and Urban Development indicate that up to 40% of unaccompanied homeless youth identify as LGBTQ. This vulnerability creates a "large inventory" for predators like Ed Buck or Jeffrey Epstein to exploit.
