CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office shared details on the rescue of a 15-year-old girl and the arrest of her suspected trafficker. He shared the latest developments during a news conference Wednesday. He also issued a warning to others involved in what one official called a ‘human trafficking empire.”

The case began just a day after the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office launched its new Human Trafficking Initiative on Sept. 25. Working with law enforcement in Oklahoma, the new unit began a joint operation involving a missing 15-year-old girl believed to be in “grave danger” in the Savannah area.

“We saved her from the streets, we saved her from the terrorists of human trafficking,” said Chatham County Sheriff Richard Coleman.
