In the last decade, public attention to the problem of commercially sexually
exploited children (CSEC) has grown. This exploratory qualitative study examines
adolescent pimping relationships, including how urban youth perceive these types
of relationships. Study data stem from interviews with three young adult
informants with first-hand knowledge of adolescent pimping, as well as three
gender-specific focus group discussions with a convenience sample of 26 urban
high school students who have first- or second-hand knowledge of adolescent
pimping. Findings indicate that respondents believe teen pimping exists in their
schools and communities, and that those exploited typically do not self-identify
as victims. Respondents also believed that younger pimps are more likely to use
violence to induce compliance among the girls they exploit, whereas older pimps
are more likely to emotionally manipulate young women into exploitation. Further,
respondents indicated that some young people agreed to exchange or sell sex for
money as a favor to their boyfriends or girlfriends, and some young people
believed that selling sex is acceptable under certain circumstances. The growing
attention to CSEC provides an important opportunity to expand prevention efforts
to reach those most affected and at risk for exploitation. The findings highlight
critical areas for augmenting traditional content in school-based HIV/STI and
sexuality education classes.
