Wyoming County DA discusses human trafficking fight

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Law enforcement officials say they are intensifying their efforts to track down human traffickers and their victims. The push is on to make the public aware of human trafficking and what to look out for, how to take action, and possibly save lives.

"'I'll kill you, or parents!' What does a 12, 13, 14-year-old girl do? She reacts with her heart, and she will do anything for this guy, and you know how he further owns her? He then starts giving her drugs," Wyoming County District Attorney Joe Peters told 28/22 News.

Girls play off-road to ‘Pack the Park’ 

TREMONT TOWNSHIP, SCHUYLKILL COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Getting inside her decked-out Jeep, Jaimee Stecker-Betts isn’t going for a drive around the block.

She’s off-roading on dirt, rocks, and hills at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park in Tremont Township.

Her passion is not for the weak, but it was a reawakening for her years ago.

“I started wheeling eight years ago when I got sober, I found myself in my jeep and in the woods and connected, and it’s been my happy place.”

Now she’s sharing it with other women through the organization ‘Girls Play Off-Road.’
