6,000 Sex Trafficking Victims Rescued Thanks to Ashton Kutcher's Organization
It's no longer strangers in white vans that we have to worry about – it's faceless people over the internet that Ashton Kutcher's team are hunting down.

Ashton Kutcher may be a talented movie and television actor, but he's also taking worldwide action in a way that not many celebrities do – he's saving lives.
