A man and a woman from Shreveport will spend decades in prison after being convicted of the human trafficking of a 14-year-old girl for the purpose of prostitution.
Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others, and it's happening right here in Shreveport-Bossier.
With cases out of Shreveport and Baton Rouge, Louisiana is no stranger to the human trafficking industry. The film "8 Days" is being screened in Shreveport to raise awareness of the fight against those who commit these heinous crimes against our young people.
