Rancho Cordova Man Arrested in Trafficking Operation

Arrest reported

A Rancho Cordova man was arrested in a trafficking operation involving allegations of pimping and pandering, Folsom Times reported.

The arrest connects the case to suspected human trafficking activity, but the available account does not identify the man, the agency that made the arrest, the date of the operation or the specific conduct investigators allege.

What the allegations mean

Pimping and pandering are criminal allegations involving the facilitation or promotion of prostitution. Human trafficking cases can involve allegations that a person was controlled, exploited or compelled for commercial sex. The arrest alone does not establish that any allegation is true.

Court process

The case will be decided through the criminal justice process. Prosecutors must determine what charges to pursue, and the court process provides the defendant an opportunity to respond to the allegations. A charge or arrest is not a finding of guilt.
