One of our members, Lauralee Norris, wrote this article!
Editor’s note: This is the third and final article in a three-part investigative series on human trafficking. 
According to the FBI, on Oct. 17, Eugene McNeely was sentenced to 14 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release for transporting a minor with the intent to prostitute them. He was also charged with sex trafficking a child and sex trafficking with force, fraud or coercion. McNeely drove from Oakland, Calif., to Salem, Ore., to pick up a 14-year-old minor who he communicated with through text and Facebook Messenger. He took her back to California with him to make her one of his prostitutes. She was trafficked seven days a week for three months.
