Human Services Minister Jenifer Webster said there were six confirmed cases of Trafficking in Persons last year, all of which are being prosecuted in court. This was disclosed during an end-of-year media briefing at her office last Monday.
Webster said while there were some 30 reports, after investigations, only six have been found to be true. “What happens is persons normally would mix Trafficking in Persons with prostitution; most of these cases that are reported would be persons that are over the age of consent,” she highlighted.
