Human trafficking is a serious criminal offense with federal implications.
With Houston being a hub for sex trafficking, the FBI and local law enforcement is constantly on the lookout for suspect organizations and individuals believed to be involved in this particular criminal enterprise.
If you’re under investigation by State or Federal law enforcement officials with regard to a criminal offense related to human trafficking, or have reason to believe that you might be in the future, Attorney Joseph Gagliardi can help you.
To talk with an experienced professional about a potential or active criminal charge against you, contact The Gagliardi Law Firm, PLLC at 713-224-6277 today.
Human Trafficking and Human Rights
Human trafficking is an international crime that is often tied into illegal immigration, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, child sex rings, and gun smuggling.
Currently in the United States, there are efforts underway to secure our borders, and vet any remaining unknowns present within our nation’s interior. This “shift” in the national political climate has lead to more focus from law enforcement and a gradual increase in related criminal cases.
Criminal Penalties
If convicted for an offense related to human trafficking, the penalties can be severe. Penalties range from 3 to 25 year sentences if you were charged with sex or labor trafficking (slavery), and can go higher, up to and including life (with the addition of a sex offender registration requirement if the case was related to sex involving children).
When a person is accused of a crime related to human trafficking, thoughts of kidnapping and bondage come to mind, making basic human rights a concern of the state, the court, and the public at-large. For this reason, having a persuasive defense attorney like Joseph Gagliardi will be a benefit as your case is litigated.
