North Bay residents don’t appreciate the scale of a crime happening all around them, despite an increased effort at public outreach over the past decade, according to a local nonprofit director.
“Human trafficking happens every single day,” says Christine Castillo, the executive director of Verity, a Sonoma County nonprofit that offers services and support to trafficking victims and sometimes coordinates with law-enforcement agencies conducting enforcement operations.
Her comments come a week after North Bay law-enforcement agencies conducted coordinated efforts to combat human trafficking, a booming but often underpublicized form of crime.
