Human trafficking is not a victimless crime. The Lorain County Sheriff’s Office, lead agency for the H.E.A.L. Human Trafficking Task Force, arrested traffickers and buyers but instead of arresting victims, they referred them to services. Well done!

“The women were brought to the United States under a ruse they would be part of a work-study program to obtain higher-education degrees. Instead, they were forced into an illicit s*x trade operation involving multiple massage parlors across the country. The H.E.A.L. task force provided the victims temporary housing and means to be reunited with their families in their home countries.”
