18 April, 2025 – HYANNIS, MA – Human trafficking is far from new on Cape Cod, yet court charges increased by almost 700 per cent in the Cape and Islands' Superior and District courts between 2023 and 2024. The DA Robert Galibois attributes it to the past year's focus and cross-region collaborations on tackling the crime. Last week, a 2-day conference in Hyannis had local, state and federal law enforcement, the hospitality industry and survivors strategize on further countering human trafficking. Lower Cape TV spoke to the DA a few days later about what he has learned about human trafficking on Cape Cod.
