LOS ANGELES—California Attorney General Rob Bonta has formally launched new regional Human Trafficking and Sexual Predator Apprehension Teams and is encouraging law enforcement to reach out to the new program.
Progressively stepping up their efforts since last year, the teams—one covering Southern California and another targeting Northern California—are now nearly fully staffed and have already taken action across the state to support law enforcement partners in disrupting and dismantling human trafficking and the criminal exploitation of children.
