“As we have said since the beginning – anyone engaged in human trafficking will be held accountable for their actions,” said Carr. “We’re committed to securing justice for survivors, and we’re working to combat gang activity in every corner of our state. All Georgians deserve to feel safe in their communities, and we’re fighting each day to ensure that’s a reality.”
Another of the defendants, 27-year-old Tyreek Lee, previously pleaded guilty to racketeering, gang and human trafficking charges. He was sentenced to 20 years with 10 to serve in prison.
