Tampa Human Trafficking Defense Lawyer

Human Trafficking Charges in Florida

Unbeknownst to many people, human trafficking has become one of the world’s fastest growing criminal industries. By definition, human trafficking involves the recruitment, transport and transfer or receipt of a person by using force, threats or other coercion tactics for the purpose of exploiting them. Often times kidnapping, extortion or other abduction techniques are employed in order to acquire people for slave labor or sexual exploitation purposes.

The actual transportation of an individual is not required for an act to be considered as human trafficking. The main focus is on the exploitation of individuals, most commonly women and children, for sex or labor purposes. Obviously some form of coercion would be involved as well in order to prevent victims from leaving.

Due to the seriousness of this particular crime, if you or a loved one are being investigated or have been charged with human trafficking, you must seek counsel from a competent Tampa federal criminal lawyer immediately. Many times other charges are filed in conjunction with human trafficking charges, so you need an attorney who is experienced with all federal crimes, not just those involving the act of human trafficking.
