MOST WANTED Human Trafficking

Hunted Offenders Eluding Surrender (H.O.E.S)

Human trafficking is no only a violation of the human body, but also of both the mind and spirit. Human trafficking is defined as the illegal recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of people for the purposes of slavery, forced labor or servitude. Not only does this crime violate jurisdictional customs and trade laws, it can also jeopardize, life, health, economies and the environment, depending upon the service trafficked. Therefore, in order to compile a functional list of wanted fugitive traffickers, we have narrowed this broadly defined criminal activity into Three categories: people smuggling, sex trafficking and human trafficking.

Furthermore, it should be understood that people smuggling differs from human trafficking only in that the smuggled person is a willing participant to a criminal act. Since human traffickers are known to use deceit to exploit their victims, it is at the sole desecration of people smugglers whether they wish to take their crime to the level of human trafficking by exploiting their customer. So, there is a fine line between the crime of people smuggling and human trafficking, and due to the hierarchy of this organized criminal activity, human trafficking, it is easier to prosecute suspects for people smuggling than human trafficking.

Therefore, due to the sometimes ambiguous descriptions given by law enforcement for these wanted fugitives, we have added those suspects wanted for people smuggling, trafficking and illegal immigration under human trafficking. Next, we have categorized suspects wanted for people smuggling, trafficking, illegal immigration, and sex crimes under the subcategory - sex trafficking.

As a word of caution, readers should remember that Most Wanted Hoes (Hunted Offenders Eluding Surrender) mission is to inform, "Joe Citizen" of suspects believed to be wanted by law enforcement for alleged crimes. To that end, we attempt to provide this information in an entertaining format that is not intended to assert guilt or cause malice.
