Human Trafficking in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, seven new criminal human trafficking cases were filed in federal courts in 2021. Fourteen defendants were convicted. 75 percent (6) of new defendants were charged with sex trafficking, and 25 percent (2) were charged with forced labor. Wisconsin federal courts ordered four out of fourteen convicted human trafficking defendants to pay restitution to their victim(s) in 2021. This is a decrease from 2020, when two of four convicted human trafficking defendants were ordered to pay restitution.
