More information from the Hillsborough County sheriff reveals this latest sting operation led to over half a dozen rescues of trafficked women, along with two underage teens. Both teens turned out to be missing and arrived in Florida from Massachusetts with human traffickers.

Amid Chronister’s work as Hillsborough County’s sheriff, the Human Trafficking Squad’s formation in June 2021 led to nearly 400 arrests.
There’s no telling how many victims and prospective victims the Florida-based Human Trafficking Squad saved with nearly 200 arrests made. This group will undoubtedly save many more people in the future as well.
Anyone who wishes to report what they believe to be human trafficking can contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline via phone at 1 (888) 373-7888 or by text at 233733.
