California police have arrested 23 men and women in a human trafficking and prostitution sting.

Officials say that a three-month investigation of the website stockton.backpage.com led the Stockton Police Department to eight young girls involved in prostitution. The girls ranged in age from 14 to 17 years old. Police spokesman Joe Silva says the girls are from the Stockton area.

However, it's interesting that 3 years ago in April, there was a gang sweep with 3 arrests related to human trafficking in the same city: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIn7TNqj4iQ

It's great to see these reports of these arrests which seem to have begun months ago --

but there is also a great deal of concern about the disposition of these cases and what the penalties might be -- and always about what happens to the victims and what kind of help they get.

Do we really have confidence in the aftermath?

Let's keep an eye on the outcomes and follow up. Perhaps there should be a branch file for this.
