Jim Moran (left) helps unload the bags of new gifts collected by members of his staff at their holiday party yesterday to the Northern Virginia-based Shae’s Place, a soon-to-be-operational live-in facility for U.S.-born teenage girl victims of human trafficking. The new facility will open in the spring as the first facility of its kind in the D.C. region, and has been prepared with a lot of volunteer help from members of an area church. The exact location of the facility is maintained as a secret in defense of the girls. There are an estimated 100,000 teen victims of trafficking in the U.S. every year, and so far only 100 beds to offer in-residence services to address their traumas. (Photo: News-Press)
