In 2014, new laws regarding the crime of human trafficking were passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Governor Rick Scott.
The criminal aspect of these new laws were tested for the first time earlier last month (May 2016) in a case involving a West Park man accused of operating a prostitution and drug ring.
It took a jury a little more than one hour to convict Gerard Nelson of the crime based on the framework of the “up until now” untested law.
