STOCKTON- HUMAN SEX TRAFFICKING IS REAL. Per Stockton PD:
“In early December, Stockton police officers responded to the 2100 block of Dockery Court for a human trafficking report. The 22-year-old female victim advised officers she was forced into human trafficking by Saint Marques Taylor, 32.

Detectives served a search warrant at the location and found evidence related to the investigation. Taylor was arrested for human trafficking, pimping and pandering, terrorist threats, brandishing of a firearm, domestic violence, and vandalism. Booker was arrested for pimping and pandering.
