WORCESTER — On Friday, March 13, 2026, the Worcester Police Special Crimes Unit and Cyber Crime Unit partnered with Homeland Security Investigations’ Boston division and the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office to conduct an undercover human trafficking operation targeting individuals seeking commercial sexual services from minors.
According to the Worcester Police Department, over the course of several days, five males arrived at a local hotel, where they were arrested and charged with human trafficking of a child, enticing a child under 16, and sexual conduct for a fee with a child under 18, amongst other offenses.
The operation was supported in part by a Human Trafficking Enforcement and Training Grant awarded to the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security in November 2025.
