Human Trafficking

Crime News Insider

San Diego Human Trafficking prosecutor Flavio Nominati joins the podcast to discuss the crime of human trafficking. January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and we wanted to speak with our local expert on this important topic. Deputy DA Flavio Nominati tells us about how he prosecutes these crimes, what are the red flags to look for, and what parents can do. He also discusses how young boys are often overlooked as targets of human trafficking. If you're in San Diego County, make sure to check out "Human Trafficking 101" on January 10, 2023 between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at One Safe Place, 1050 Los Vallecitos Blvd, San Marcos, CA 92069, or the Spanish version on January 13, 2023 at the same place.

Report suspected human trafficking activity by calling 1-888-3737-888 or texting BeFree (233733).

We took a long break because Jorge Del Portillo was in a murder trial in the case against Jade Janks, which was covered by CourtTV. More on that case in the future!

Bio: Flavio Nominati has been a prosecutor for approximately 11 years. In that time, he has been assigned to a diverse array of specialized units, including Domestic Violence, Elder Abuse, Juvenile Prosecution, Crimes Against Peace Officers, and the Gang Prosecution Unit. Currently, he is assigned to the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force. In this capacity he serves as the Human Trafficking Team Leader for the Sex Crimes and Human Trafficking Division. He works with approximately 10 Task Force officers (TFOs) as they develop their human trafficking cases. In addition, he serves as the Executive Chair of the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force

Crime or Fiction: Each episode we look at the laws on the books; 2 are real, 1 is fake, and I quiz my panel of experts to see if they can guess which one is the fake. The theme this week is sex laws.

A. In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to maintain a brothel, which is defined as a house with 16 or more women living together, unintentionally banning most sororities since 1951.

B. In California, it is illegal to inveigle a person under 18 into a house of ill fame.

C. In Sweden, prostitution is legal, but it is illegal to be a “John” or customer of sex work.
