Human Trafficking Prosecutions
The Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Unit was formed in 2011 and has 24 convictions under its belt. Since 2019 when Attorney General Nessel took office, prosecutors have charged five individuals with human trafficking crimes. Three have been charged by state officials, while two others were charged in coordination with county prosecutors.
The unit has also partnered with the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office on two cases to charge two individuals with multiple felonies, including minor sex trafficking. Those cases are currently pending in Kalamazoo County.
