Northport, Alabama, United States

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and state and local law enforcement agencies investigated and intervened. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Fortune prosecuted it. U.S. District Judge Abdul K. Kallon sentenced Castiblanco-Hernandez to 10 months in prison and five years of supervised release after completing his prison term. CASTILBLANCO also must register as a sex offender. “Making money off the exploitation and misery of another human being, whether for commercial sex acts or forced labor, is human trafficking and nothing more than modern day slavery,” Vance said. “Prosecuting this type case is how we begin to address the criminal enterprise of human trafficking…” said U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance.
