I find that there is sufficient evidence to SFC Vicente Pereira is guilty of Article 80 UCMJ, Attempts, pursuant to Articles 134 UCMJ, paragraph 97, element (3) Pandering by inducing, enticing, or procuring act of prostitution.

In addition to legislation on human trafficking, criminal justice systems must turn their attention to educating law enforcement officers about the nature and extent of trafficking, while also equipping them with the tools essential to handling these cases.

There are relatively few publications and researches that address the nature and extent of human trafficking in the Kingston region.
