The New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that six people have been charged in a human trafficking investigation involving over 150 victims.
The Coastal Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force, which the NHCSO is a part of, made five arrests in relation to the investigation that spanned over the last six months.
Suspects have been given over 300 felony charges in connection to the investigation.
“The charges were related to the criminal activity of Cape Fear Escorts/Entertainers.
Cape Fear Escorts/Entertainers would recruit victims by promising them thousands of dollars for dancing, but would, in turn, have the victims engage in commercial sex and took proceeds from it.
All these incidents took place in the New Hanover County Area,” states the announcement from the NHCSO.
