A Lynn man was arrested Wednesday in a human trafficking probe after a warrant was issued by South Boston District Court, according to police. Officers in Lynn, working with detectives from the Boston Police Department’s Human Trafficking Unit, took 34-year-old Miguel Cabrera of Lynn into custody on allegations that he exploited others for commercial sex.
According to Newport Dispatch, Cabrera was arrested by the Lynn Police Department based on the South Boston District Court warrant. The outlet reports he is charged with Trafficking for Sexual Servitude and Deriving Support from Trafficking and is expected to be arraigned in both Lynn District Court and South Boston District Court. Newport Dispatch also notes that investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Unit Involvement And Recent Operations
The Boston Police Department says its Human Trafficking Unit has been busy this year with undercover and search-warrant operations that have led to arrests in parts of the city including Charlestown and the Seaport. The department has highlighted coordinated enforcement work with state partners, while also posting guidance for the public on how to share tips, video and other evidence with investigators. In a February case, Boston Police detailed one such commercial sexual exploitation investigation that resulted in arrests.
What Comes Next
Cabrera is expected to be arraigned in both Lynn District Court and South Boston District Court, although specific hearing dates were not included in the initial reports. As with any defendant, he is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in a court of law.
