Micah Smith joined the station in December 2018 and is Denver7's Social Equity Reporter
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — In honor of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Federal Bureau of Investigation are working together to bring awareness to the crime. “Human trafficking is when a person — per federal law — when a person is subjected to commercial sex, labor, forced services by means of force, control or coercion.
The investigator, who specializes in human trafficking, asked to remain anonymous due to the nature of their work. They were able to help the victim in the Rivera case.“She, over time, had lost a sense of self-worth and felt that he was the only one that would really care about her in life. And getting to watch that transition from our time together and her kind of finding that sense of hope again was really special,” the investigator said.
