Human Traffickers in South Dakota Face Justice

Human trafficking has been a major focus for law enforcement in South Dakota, with U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson leading the charge. In 2012, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Dakota released its annual report, highlighting the work and accomplishments of the office for the calendar year.

According to the report, there has been a concerted effort with law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute human trafficking crimes, targeting both the supply and demand sides of commercial sex trafficking. The report outlines several key cases, demonstrating the successful work of the office in this area.

But human trafficking is not the only area of focus for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The report also highlights the office’s efforts to make tribal communities safer, with a 131% increase in prosecutions on the Rosebud Sioux Indian reservation over the past four years, and an 82% increase on Pine Ridge. ‘I’m proud to work with a staff of dedicated professionals who are committed to delivering justice, prosecuting criminals, and making our state a safer place to live,’ said Johnson.

The report also showcases the office’s enhanced community outreach efforts, progress in victim’s rights and advocacy, and a description of the work performed by the Civil and Appellate Divisions. ‘The accomplishments summarized in this report are the result of the hard work of my staff and the federal, state and local agencies that are vital to our joint success,’ said Johnson.

Johnson’s comments reflect the dedication and commitment of the U.S. Attorney’s Office to making South Dakota a safer place. With a focus on human trafficking and other high-priority areas, the office is working tirelessly to deliver justice and protect the community.

As the U.S. Attorney’s Office continues to work towards its goals, it is clear that human trafficking will remain a major area of focus. With the support of law enforcement partners and a dedicated staff, the office is well-equipped to take on this complex and sensitive issue.

The release of the 2012 Annual Report for the District of South Dakota serves as a reminder of the important work being done by the U.S. Attorney’s Office to combat human trafficking and make South Dakota a safer place to live.
