"Trapped Behind the Scam"

Across the world, transnational organized crime groups are trafficking and exploiting thousands of people, forcing them to participate in industrial-scale financial fraud operations. This growing form of human trafficking involves forced criminality and is closely intertwined with cybercrime, financial fraud, money laundering, and corruption.

Here in East Texas, human trafficking is not a distant problem, it is a reality that impacts our communities every day.

As we recognize the realities of modern-day trafficking, we invite you to join us for our WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS PRAYER GATHERING as we stand together in prayer for our community, our nation, and those who are trapped in exploitation.

Date: Sunday, July 26

Time: 7:00 PM

Location: Gregg County Courthouse Steps, Longview, Texas

Together, we will pray for victims, survivors, vulnerable children and families, law enforcement, service providers, community leaders, and all those working to prevent trafficking and bring hope to those affected by it.

We hope you will join us as we unite in prayer and take a stand against human trafficking. Through awareness, action, and prayer, we can help bring light into dark places and hope to those who need it most.

Absolutely disgusting and evil

An Indiana mother of seven has been accused of offering her 7-month-old daughter for s*x to a man on Snapchat in exchange for $400.

32-year-old Morgan Stapp has denied sending the message, but police say it originated from her phone at her residence.

According to reports, Stapp allegedly sent three photos of her infant daughter along with the message: “U can f*** her for 400$. Half now rest after. I’ll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture.”

Snapchat reportedly flagged the message to authorities. Ten days later, FBI agents visited her home.

Stapp was booked into the Marion County Jail on July 8 and is being held on $100,000 bail.
