Houston Police and the Harris County Sheriff’s Department arrested more than 250 people in a month long crackdown on human trafficking.
It was part of the National Johns Suppression Initiative, where more than 1,000 arrests were made across the US in July.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tells our TV partner KPRC Channel 2, “Our aim is for Harris County and Houston to shed the dubious distinction as America’s sex trafficking capital… By focusing our efforts on sex buyers who are seeking to take advantage of sex trafficking victims, we are putting these predators on notice that our community won’t tolerate their behavior.”
