A family of four that owns several adult residential and child-care facilities in California were charged with human trafficking, rape, and labor exploitation on Sept. 7 after a year-long investigation, according to the state attorney general’s office.
Joshua Gamos, 42; Noel Gamos, 40; Gerlen Gamos, 38; and Carlina Gamos, 67, were charged with 59 criminal counts committed while operating Rainbow Bright between 2008 and 2017. The allegations came to light in 2014 after an employee complained to the U.S. Department of Labor about inadequate pay and poor working conditions, according to a criminal complaint.
