The Morgan County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division, supported by the Morgan County District Attorney's Office and Covenant Rescue Group, conducted an Anti-Human Trafficking Operation in Hartselle March 6-7, 2025. During the operation, six individuals targeted and solicited who they believed to be a child, 15 or younger, but were undercover law enforcement officers. When they traveled to meet the child, they were met by undercover investigators, and taken into custody.

These predators found our undercover investigators through online platforms, social media, and other online portals. Parents, it is important that you to get involved in your child's digital life. The devices you permit them to have provide them with direct access to the world, and the world gains direct access to them. Don't let them be victims by being exposed to extreme evil at such a young and influential age. These offenders agreed to pay to engage in sexual acts with children and then traveled to designated locations in Morgan County to commit these sex crimes.

Human trafficking, often called modern-day slavery, is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. Each year, 100,000 to 300,000 American children are at risk of being trafficked for commercial sex in the United States. The average age for a girl to enter the commercial sex trade is 12-14 years old, while boys are even younger at 11-13 years old. If you suspect that a person may be a victim of human trafficking, call local law enforcement or the National Human Trafficking Hot Line at 1-888-373-7888. You should never attempt to confront a suspected trafficker or rescue a suspected victim. Doing so could put you and the victim's safety at risk. By immediately informing law enforcement of your suspicions, you can safely assist in the recovery of the victim and the dismantling of the trafficking operation.
