A multi-agency human trafficking operation conducted earlier this month rescued 19 victims in just three days across San Diego County, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Last week, District Attorney Summer Stephan announced the results of the annual “Home for the Holidays” Human Trafficking Task Force Operation, which took place Dec. 10–12 at motels in Chula Vista, National City and San Diego. All 19 victims were offered services aimed at helping them leave exploitation and begin the recovery process.

The operation also led to the arrest of four adult men — including a registered sex offender — on charges including pimping, pandering, and violating a protective order. In addition, six misdemeanor citations were issued to people accused of attempting to buy sex.
