Another concern is that the nonprofit’s efforts to raise money to print school handbooks to educate students about trafficking may also be a means to net funds for 10,000 Kids. The complaint questions whether appropriate tax forms have been filed by 10,000 Kids, although the groups did not ask Martinez directly for the forms. Martinez recently said the complaint — which he characterized as a letter of concern — was written prematurely. Most of the issues raised have been addressed or resolved, he said. Martinez provided the Review-Journal with up-to-date tax filings for 10,000 Kids and printed statements associated with the PayPal link that had been on the film’s website. They showed the documentary had raised $2,597 in donations since it aired at the beginning of the year. As for the handbooks, Martinez said he’ll be lucky to break even. The handbooks cost $27,355 and so far $8,717 has been raised, he said. The deadline for completing the handbooks is the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. IN THE MEDIA Martinez’s comments to media about the film caused concern, said Cramer.

A coalition to fight human trafficking in Nevada is showing signs of strain. The Silver State has been using collaboration as a weapon against human trafficking in a battle that’s unfolding nationwide. A task force partners with law enforcement, religious leaders, groups that provide services to victims and others in the community looking to abolish the commercial and sexual exploitation of adults and children. Despite the common mission — stopping human trafficking, a crime Nevada targeted in 2013 with a new law that redefined sex trafficking and set stiff penalties for those convicted of pimping out juveniles — not everyone is getting along. Troy Martinez, the East Vegas Christian Center pastor behind the documentary “Trafficked No More,” which aired in January on local television, is facing mounting questions from organizations that provide services to victims. The 30-minute film made a splash when it aired. People held watching parties. A hash tag took hold on Twitter.
