Actor Ashton Kutcher and Elisa Massimino from Human Rights First testified at a hearing on ways to improve federal support for combating human trafficking and slavery. Mr. Kutcher, co-founder of the anti-human trafficking network Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children, talked about his organization’s efforts toward the release of trafficking and slavery victims.
