WHAT IS A HUMAN TRAFFICKING OFFENCE?
Human trafficking offences are covered by the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and can lead to severe punishments. An offence can result in a lengthy custodial sentence, and in some cases, a life sentence. In addition, you may be liable to pay a financial penalty if the court decides that you have benefitted financially from your offence.
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 states that “A person commits an offence if the person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person (“V”) with a view to V being exploited.” Circumstances in individual cases can differ greatly, but there are several general categories of exploitation which human trafficking offences fall into. These include:
- Sexual exploitation of either women, men or children
- Forced or compulsory labour of individuals
- Domestic servitude in private households
- Harvesting of organs for illegal trade
- Exploitation of children within any of the above categories
