48 victims rescued, more than 300 arrested in human trafficking bust
Authorities involved in a 3-day human trafficking sting operation rescued almost 50 victims across California, including 14 minors, some as young as 13.
Law enforcement officials with “Operation Reclaim and Rebuild” announced Tuesday they made 339 arrests in the 3-day operation, which involved 93 human trafficking task forces throughout the state.
Two teenagers forced to work in prostitution were returned home when officials arrested a suspect in the case. The girls, ages 17 and 14, had been threatened with violence after the older one was lured by a man she met online, believing she was going to have a relationship with him.
The National Human Trafficking Hotline says 8,524 cases of human trafficking were reported nationwide in 2017. Of those, 1,305 were in California.
