Does that stat also include consensual prostitution? I've been noticing that people are getting charged with human trafficking for paying for sex with a prostitute.

in the US. soliciting prostitution can get you charged for human trafficking yes. Because it's common for the more conventional human traffickers to bring in girls from Asia and Europe with legal visas with the promise of jobs and security but upon getting to the US have their passports and visas confiscated and the job is actually prostitution.

It does skew the stats though when you include all prostitution. It's like when politicians say there's a 100,000 child kidnappings every year when they are counting all the times a parent reports another parent of violating a custody agreement.
