Nassau is a small town located on Long Island, New York and has a population of roughly 1,100. Prostitution and sex trafficking have been identified as substantial and longstanding problems in many areas of Long Island, specifically including Nassau. In an effort to reduce the demand for commercial sex that drives both prostitution and sex trafficking, police have conducted reverse stings and released to local news outlets the identities of those arrested.
