AG Zoeller’s Office trains law enforcement, tourism industry on combating human trafficking in lead up to Indy 500

0

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s Office is training law enforcement officers and members of the tourism industry this week to recognize and combat human trafficking ahead of the Indianapolis 500, which will bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Indianapolis later this month.

Human trafficking – buying or selling individuals for sex or labor – is the fastest growing and second largest criminal industry worldwide, generating an estimated 150.2 billion dollars. Approximately 300,000 American youths are at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation, and the average age children are first exploited is between 12 and 14.

Zoeller said sporting events which draw large crowds can also attract sex trafficking. The Attorney General’s Office tracked Backpage.com ads offering “escort services” in the Indianapolis area during the 2015 NCAA Final Four championship and found a spike of more than 100 ads per day. There were 18 commercial sex-related arrests during the 2015 Final Four in Indianapolis.

The Indiana AG’s Office and the National Attorneys General Training & Research Institute (NAGTRI) are training law enforcement and investigators on identifying and prosecuting human trafficking today and tomorrow in Indianapolis. 

On Wednesday, Zoeller’s Office is partnering with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. to train area hotels to recognize and report signs of trafficking.

“As long as there is demand for commercial sex, traffickers will continue to illegally and ruthlessly exploit children,” Zoeller said. “These networks have gotten more sophisticated and new technologies allow them to operate largely undetected, but there are red flags and warning signs that can alert people to these crimes. Law enforcement will be on guard, but members of the public – particularly those in the tourism industry who may see signs of these crimes – can also play a critical role in spotting this activity and getting victims help.”

Zoeller is co-chair of the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans (IPATH) Task Force and serves on the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) Standing Committee on Human Trafficking.

Last year, the Attorney General’s Office launched the Indiana’s Not Buying It public awareness effort to refute myths about the commercial sex industry and human trafficking, and reduce demand for commercial sex. IndyCar driver Ed Carpenter is featured in the public service announcement, which can be viewed at www.INNotBuyingIt.com.

Zoeller has worked to raise awareness of human trafficking and reduce demand for commercial sex since 2011, when he joined a nationwide task force of attorneys general focused on stopping the problem of human trafficking.

In Indiana, Zoeller has advocated for several legislative changes that make it easier to prosecute and hold traffickers accountable, while also recognizing that those used in the sex trade are victims in need of help and support. This year, legislation was passed that increases criminal penalties for some of the worst crimes against children, including possession of child pornography and child exploitation.  

The AG’s Office and IPATH have trained thousands of law enforcement officers and members of the public on recognizing human trafficking. For more information, visit www.INNotBuyingIt.com.

Pence appoints Slaughter to replace Dickson on Supreme Court

0

www.theindianalawyer.com

Gov. Mike Pence Monday named Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP partner Geoffrey Slaughter to the Indiana Supreme Court. The veteran litigator will replace Justice Brent Dickson who retired from the court April 29.

“This is a good day for the law in Indiana,” Pence said during a news conference in his office Monday where Slaughter was joined by his wife, attorney Julie Ann Slaughter, and the other justices. “This was a difficult decision,” he said referring to the finalists from which he selected his first appointee to the court. St. Joseph Superior Judge Steven L. Hostetler and Boone Superior Judge Matthew C. Kincaid also were on the short list to become Indiana’s 109th justice.

“Judge Kincaid and Judge Hostetler are extraordinary jurists who serve their communities with great distinction,” Pence said. “But the opportunity to appoint someone of Geoff Slaughter’s intellect and demeanor and experience … it’s a great privilege to me, it’s very humbling.”

Slaughter, 53, was admitted to practice in 1989 and focuses his practice on administrative, antitrust, appellate and constitutional litigation. He has argued frequently before the court, and he thanked Pence for the trust he placed in him and said he was humbled by the process, in which he was selected from a field of 29 lawyers and judges interviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission.

He said the court has “rightly been recognized as a smart, hard-working and collegial court, and I pledge to do all I can to ensure that my service on the court only reinforces those qualities.”

Slaughter also used part of his brief address Monday to pay tribute to Dickson, a fellow former litigator and Lake County native whose 30 years on the court represent the second-longest tenure of any justice in state history.

He called Dickson “an exemplary public servant who leaves huge shoes to fill. … I’m not replacing Justice Dickson – nobody can do that – I’m merely succeeding him and I’ll do my best to try to live up to the values of professionalism and civility for which he’s so well-known.”

Slaughter was a finalist for the opening on the Supreme Court in 2012 after Justice Frank Sullivan retired. That opening was filled by Chief Justice Loretta Rush. He told reporters after the news conference that he almost didn’t apply when the current vacancy was announced, but did so only after he was encouraged colleagues.
Slaughter, who also is president of the Indiana Bar Foundation, received the praise of that organization Monday.

“We are gratified that our colleague Geoffrey G. Slaughter has been selected by Governor Mike Pence to fill the vacancy on the Indiana Supreme Court created by the retirement of Justice Brent E. Dickson. We know Geoff’s intellect, civility and respect for the rule of law well having worked with him for the past several years as members of the executive committee of the Indiana Bar Foundation,” the group said in a statement.

“The Foundation has benefited from Geoff’s generous time and professional expertise during this, the Foundation’s 65th anniversary year. Geoff’s leadership as President of the Foundation this year has continued to advance the mission of the organization and has ensured that the Foundation is equipped to continue serving the public and the Indiana bench and bar with quality programs in civil legal aid and civic education.”

TANYA TUCKER WILL BE AT VICTORY THEATRE THURSDAY, JUNE 9. TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MAY 13 AT 12PM

TANYA TUCKER
VICTORY THEATRE- JUNE 9, 7:00 PM
– TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, MAY 13 AT 12 PM –

Evansville, IN – In 1974, Rolling Stone ran a cover story on Tanya Tucker with the headline that said “You’re Gonna Hear From Me.” Truer words have never been spoken. For four decades, her sultry voice and vivacious stage presence has helped to make her one of the most admired and respected female vocalists in the Country Music genre.

Part of that appeal lies in the fact that Tucker’s resume contains some of the most groundbreaking songs of the format’s history. Songs like Alex Harvey’s “Delta Dawn,” Dallas Frazier’s “What’s Your Mama’s Name” and David Allan Coe’s “Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)” firmly established Tanya Tucker as an artist from whom you could always expect the unexpected. Her early hits also contained some kick-up-your-heels moments, like “Texas (When I Die),” “San Antonio Stroll,” and “Here’s Some Love.”
In the 1980s, Tucker’s star continued to shine as she moved over to Capitol Records in the middle part of the decade. It was there that she released some of the most potent material of her illustrious career, such as “One Love At A Time,” “Just Another Love,” and “Strong Enough To Bend.”

The next decade showed no let down in her momentum, as she hit with songs that continued to touch her fan base – like “Two Sparrows In A Hurricane,” “Soon,” and “Little Things.”

However, Tanya Tucker represents much more than just a collection of hit songs – not that her resume isn’t impressive. But, what makes the singer unforgettable is her stage show. On one side of the coin, she can show her vulnerable side – through the emotional lyrics of many of her heartbreaking ballads. But, there’s that other side of Tucker – which she showcases her flirtatious and sensual side. Both of these elements have kept Tucker a crowd favorite for many years – and are among the reasons that her fans are grateful that she is returning to the road after an absence of a few years.

And, the best is yet to come for this future Country Music Hall of Fame member. With a new album forthcoming, the power house vocalist is set to remind listeners just why artists such as Miranda Lambert and Gretchen Wilson consider her to be one of their biggest influences. She’s lived a life full of love and heartbreak, and bounced back no matter the odds. In the crazy world of the music business, Tanya Tucker defines the word “legend,” but also “survivor.”
