Officials at Solano Community College intervened to rescue an 18-year-old student from a potential human trafficking situation. The student, experiencing homelessness after being kicked out of her home, sought help from a college employee. The employee, recognizing the student's distress, contacted the Department of Public Safety.

College staff quickly assessed the situation, learning the student was being pressured into prostitution. An older woman had offered temporary housing, then demanded the student make money through a website. Before any trafficking occurred, the student reached out to a college employee. Authorities are now coordinating with law enforcement to investigate.

This incident showcases the critical role educational institutions play in student safety. Chief Brian Huynh Travis praised the quick action of the employee and officers. It also highlights the vulnerability of homeless youth and the importance of early intervention in suspected trafficking cases.

What's next? The Solano Community College Department of Public Safety is working with outside law enforcement. Their goal is to identify and hold accountable those responsible for the trafficking scheme. The student is now receiving support services. This case underscores the need for increased awareness and vigilance.
