In 2019, with the support of Gov. Brian Kemp, First Lady Marty Kemp and leaders in the Georgia General Assembly, Attorney General Chris Carr created the first-of-its-kind statewide Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit. Recently, Carr announced that this unit has recovered 11 missing children in Georgia and initiated multiple human trafficking investigations as a result of Operation “Coast to Coast” – a nationwide effort to locate victims, arrest buyers and sellers, and seize criminal assets.
“Sadly, the vast majority of our human trafficking cases involve a child who’s gone missing,” said Carr. “That’s why operations like this are so important – allowing our team to work with law enforcement from across the country to safely locate victims, dismantle trafficking networks, and hold predators accountable. I’m proud of our Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit for their tireless efforts over the past few days, but our work doesn’t stop here. We will keep fighting until every child is recovered and every trafficker is behind bars.”
