In Arizona, human trafficking charges are governed under A.R.S. § 13-1308 and can include allegations of transporting, recruiting, harboring, or obtaining individuals through coercion, deception, or force for labor or sexual exploitation. Human trafficking can also be charged as a federal offense. Hector Diaz has extensive experience in defending human trafficking charges at the state and federal levels, giving his clients the best chance at a fresh start.
Crimes of this nature in Arizona are extremely complex. Even the suspicion of involvement can trigger investigations, subpoenas, and the freezing of assets. Prosecutors aggressively pursue these cases, and penalties often include:
● Decades in prison
● Mandatory sex offender registration (if sex trafficking is involved)
● Federal charges with enhanced sentencing guidelines
● Seizure of property and frozen assets
That’s why it is crucial to work with a criminal defense attorney you can trust. You need someone with years of experience and a proven track record of successfully defending human trafficking cases. You need Hector Diaz by your side.
Your future deserves nothing less.
Understanding the types of actions that can lead to a human trafficking charge can help clarify what’s at stake. Here are a few scenarios that have resulted in arrests or investigations in Arizona:
● Online recruitment for illicit purposes – Individuals accused of using social media or online ads to recruit others for labor or sex work under false pretenses.
● Transportation of minors – Charges stemming from the alleged transport of underage individuals across state lines or within Arizona for exploitative purposes.
● Coercion of undocumented workers – Allegations involving employers accused of threatening or exploiting undocumented immigrants by withholding documents or pay.
● Massage parlors and front businesses – Investigations into businesses suspected of being fronts for sex trafficking operations.
● Domestic servitude cases – Individuals charged with forcing someone into unpaid labor or domestic work under threat, fraud, or manipulation.
These examples highlight how broad and complex these charges can be. In many cases, the facts are far from clear-cut, and that’s exactly why you need a knowledgeable, aggressive defense on your side.
