Seven suspects were arrested in connection with a human trafficking investigation involving minors that began in May with Hartford’s Special Investigation Division and the Regionalized Human Trafficking Recovery Task Force. The investigation is currently ongoing in Hartford, CT, and police claim additional arrests are anticipated as the case progresses. According to Lieutenant Aaron Boisvert of the Hartford police, the three minors involved in the case have since been reunited with their families.
As of Friday, the suspects in custody were: James Williams, Ahmad Compton, Raheem Jones, Tahjay Wilson, Tyrod Jackson, Donovan Dun, and Bernard Mickens. They are all Hartford residents, except for Jones. Police said Donovan Dun was apprehended in Port Charlotte, Florida. He is being held as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting extradition to Connecticut.
Amongst the seven, there were several charges of trafficking in persons, sexual assault in the first and second degree, and illegal sexual contact with a minor, along with risk of injury to a child and kidnapping in the first degree.
The bail set for the suspects ranges from $250,000 to $1.75 million. Is this considered excessive bail?
