District Attorney Diana Becton announced Wednesday officers that arrested two men for human trafficking and recovered or identified nine victims in Contra Costa County, including one juvenile.
The arrests by the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Task Force were made as part of Operation Cross Country, a nationwide effort last month to put a dent in human trafficking.
"Our state consistently leads all other states in reports of human trafficking to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, accounting for 13 percent of all such reports in the last year," Becton said."Over the past four years, just five of our county's victim service providers served over 500 victims of human trafficking here. That's why operations across the country crucial in curbing the abuses of those who prey on the vulnerable.
Authorities arrested more than five dozen suspected human traffickers and 126 individuals accused of child sexual exploitation and trafficking.
