Couple Accused of Using Foster Care System for Sex Trafficking Scheme
Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s human trafficking unit said that Mr. Mitchell, a registered sex offender, had run the sex trafficking operation between November 2018 and February 2022. He recruited women through social media and then used physical and verbal abuse to coerce them into prostitution in cars and hotels in Manhattan, as well as in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, the authorities said.
D.A. Bragg Announces Takedown of Husband-and-Wife Sex Trafficking Operation
“Sex traffickers target the most vulnerable New Yorkers, including – far too often – young New Yorkers in the child welfare system,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As alleged, instead of providing a safe home, this husband and wife forced eight young women to engage in prostitution. We will continue to prioritize proactive investigations like these to dismantle sex trafficking operations and keep New Yorkers safe.”
NYC DA charges construction policy insurance broker, $350K theft, fraud
The Manhattan District Attorney's office on Tuesday announced charges against a New York insurance broker who allegedly stole $350,000 of insurance premium payments from a construction company client, leaving the contractor uninsured for years while it performed work on multiple projects in Manhattan.
D.A. Bragg: Insurance Broker Indicted for Stealing Premium Payments from Construction Industry Client
“Our Rackets Bureau’s commitment to construction-industry integrity continues with this indictment of an insurance broker accused of pocketing nearly $350,000 – leaving his client unknowingly uninsured for four years while they conducted construction projects at 14 buildings in Manhattan,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Any accident or injury would have left Kirtland’s client liable without the support of insurance – which could have had potentially devastating consequences. Insurance brokers have a fiduciary responsibility to safeguard funds provided by their clients, and the integrity of the industry relies on brokers properly upholding that obligation.”
