Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost today announced the success of a weeklong statewide human trafficking crackdown, “Operation Buyer’s Remorse,” which sought to arrest those trying to buy sex and to identify survivors of human trafficking.The operation led to 160 arrests and was comprised of coordinated “stings” conducted by OOCIC’s eight human trafficking and major crimes task forces. As part of the statewide crackdown, the New Albany Police Department made 10 arrests for the sale of commercial sex, recovered two firearms, and will have multiple drug charges pending lab results.“This latest operation is part of a proactive and shared effort to help victims of human trafficking,” said New Albany Police Chief Greg Jones. “Additionally, our goal is to offer aid and options to individuals involved in the dangerous work of prostitution and prosecute those who exploit them. The New Albany Police Department remains committed to working with the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to battle human exploitation at every level.”Learn more: bit.ly/3PGqGEH...
