Once again, Cumberland County’s Human Trafficking Initiative, code named Impact Demand, resulted in multiple arrests.  District Attorney Seán McCormack commented, “as I stated after our first operation, we are currently focusing on the demand, that is the customer side of the equation.  Buyer beware, we are going to continue these operations.  If someone is thinking about answering an ad for sex in Cumberland County, they better think twice, or they may find themselves as part of the next group of individuals we arrest.”

            The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Criminal Investigation Division, in cooperation with the Hampden Township Police Department and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, recently conducted a Human Trafficking Detail.  Operation Effect Change was designed to apprehend persons engaged in the solicitation of prostitution.    The following persons were arrested after they responded to an online advertisement, arrived at a Hampden Township Hotel and paid undercover officers for a sexual act(s).
