 Wednesday's arrest of 51-year-old Tony Baker accused of providing drugs and alcohol to minors at parties he hosted was applauded by many parents who had reached out to police with concerns. Fightful police chief Chris Edmund says their investigation into Baker's activities has been going on since early in the spring. They've worked on this case now probably for about four weeks just for these just for these wants here. At one point I was called at four o'clock in the morning to help our staff here because they were backed up on the place because they had so many juveniles and custody down in the parking lot. Baker was arrested on charges relating to drugs and alcohol being provided to underage boys and girls but investigators say that Baker first appeared on their radar when he was implicated in a human trafficking investigation. Officials at Judy's place for kids say the term human trafficking is often misunderstood. Traditionally when people think of human trafficking they think of kids being kidnapped, transported across state lines in vans, having tattoos that mark them. That's not what we're seeing around here is human trafficking. The term human trafficking in our area means parents are selling children for drugs. They're allowing another individual usually someone they know to have sex with their children for drugs. They get payment in drugs or for rent. If they need to make their rent they'll allow a landlord to have sex with their kids to meet the rent that month. Taylor says many human trafficking cases in our region begin on social media. It'll turn into send me a picture or send me a video or they will actually meet up and from there it goes into well I have this friend I want you to meet and or come to this party or let's go here or there and another individual or if they get the pictures and videos they can sell them online or sell them to other individuals which is another form of human trafficking that occurs. Many offenders who are charged with human trafficking defend themselves by saying they thought the teenager was old enough. There's an age of consent at 16 but if it's human trafficking and if that person is receiving payment of any form for that rape then that goes into the human trafficking whether they're 15 16 17 it's not an adult having sex with a child no that's rape that is against the law and that child's being raped.
