Nicholas Sensley on KVMR: Contemporary Slavery and Human Trafficking in Your Backyard

Summary: Nicholas Sensley, Truckee Police Chief shares about the human trafficking in Nevada County. Contrary to popular opinion, trafficking isn’t just limited to the sex trade. It also appears in the form of domestic servitude, sweatshop factories and migrant agricultural work. Traffickers use violence, fraud and coercion to compel women, men and children into slavery. Many of these victims do not speak or understand English and are unable to communicate with anyone who might be able to help them.”
