WTVD -- Eleven people are facing charges after several agencies in Cumberland County conducted a human trafficking and prostitution operation during the weekend. The three agencies spent Saturday posing as solicitors on more than five dating services, looking for patterns and red flags. Swain said most of the arrests made Saturday came from people they made contact with online. The other tier of the operation involved officials going to the streets and using tips they've received over time.
Those arrested ranged between the ages of 22 and Some of those suspects are residents from Goldsboro, Spring Lake, and Stedman. With the operation complete, Swain said the next stage is looking to rehabilitate many of these individuals. That's where Five Sparrows comes in. The CCSO said the non-profit provides support and counseling to those looking to get out of the cycle of prostitution or substance abuse. But in the meantime, we did catch one person that was promoting prostitution," Swain said.
Another goal from the county is to lessen crimes that come along with human trafficking and prostitution. CCSO said it will continue to assess areas and deem when another operation is needed. Welcome, Mickey. Manage MyDisney Account. Log Out. By Michael Lozano.
