Three Arrested After A Human Trafficking Sting In Georgia

Posted on 05/14/202205/14/2022 by Joey Percy Newton

Javaris Chestang (27), Deajah Green (28), and Trinity Lawrence (22), all face felony human trafficking charges and are locked up in the Fulton County Jail after a recent undercover operation in Alpharetta, GA targeting the growing problem of human trafficking.

Officers arrested the three suspects over the two-day sting in April. They also saved two trafficking victims, who were being held against their will.

Hidden cameras inside a hotel room recorded the interaction of undercover detectives with two young women, ages 19 and 20.

Police body camera video also recorded the three suspects as they were approached by officers in the parking lot. Investigators spoke with the man and two women. The police arrested all three on felony human trafficking charges for dropping off the two victims, after they each gave conflicting stories.

“We were able to determine the victims were not there freely and they were not able to leave,” said Lt. Andrew Splawn with Alpharetta Department of Public Safety.

Alpharetta police also worked with a national non-profit organization called Guardian Group that searches online for low key advertisements for potential human trafficking activity and helps generate leads for law enforcement to pursue.

“We focus on finding the victim and getting them separated from this life that they’re caught up in, getting them the care they need,” said Guardian Group COO Nathan Prussian.

This is the first time the group has worked in the metro Atlanta area, but they know it is most definitely a hub for human trafficking around the Southeast and whole country.

“There’s thousands of people every day advertised, in Atlanta, for sale,” Prussian said.

The two trafficking victims were offered aftercare medical services, but because they are not minors, they were released to return home in another part of the state.

    Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
