[LASD] – Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force has been hard at work since inception. It is continuing its efforts to protect children and young adults from predators lurking on various social media sites and the Internet.
The Task Force has conducted several covert operations during this past week throughout Los Angeles County targeting sex traffickers, intent and focused on luring young victims into the commercial sex industry.
Arrests this past week by task force detectives included:
Dorian Foster male Black 27 years-old and resident of Los Angeles
Brandon Monroe male Black 20 years-old and resident of Long Beach
David Mortley male Black 30 years-old and resident of Gardena.
Each defendant was subsequently charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office with the felony charge of Pandering. Bail was set at $50,000 for each defendant.
Young adults and children are reminded that social media and Internet sites contain exploiters engaged in illicit and dangerous activities, and are popular among predators recruiting for commercial sex workers. Parents are reminded to be especially vigilant in monitoring their children’s social media practices.
