Stearns County Fighting Human Trafficking [PODCAST]
Stearns County Attorney Janelle Kendall joined me on WJON today. Stearns County has processed over 230 tips and has netted over 30 charged traffickers and prosecuted them resulting in prison terms of up to 25 years. Janelle also says they've charged 13 persons who seek juveniles. Listen to our conversation below.
Janelle says they continue to work with many agencies throughout Central Minnesota including local enforcement and elected officials. January is human trafficking awareness month.
