 District Attorney Hochman joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Los Angeles Police Department to announce more than 500 arrests made statewide during a weeklong human trafficking operation comprised of more than 100 law enforcement agencies. In addition, a District Attorney’s Investigator from LADA’s Bureau of Investigation took part in the operation as a member of LASD’s Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force.
“Every agency’s dedication in this operation highlights their unwavering resolve to prosecute these appalling crimes,” DA Hochman said. “Human traffickers are essentially modern-day slave masters who should be on clear notice that we will find them, arrest them, prosecute them, and seek maximum time behind bars for their despicable acts of preying on young girls and boys. This is not a threat but a promise.”
