NEW HANOVER COUNTY — A collaborative task force worked to take down a local man for human trafficking.
The Coastal Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force — consisting of the FBI, New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, Onslow County Sheriff’s Office, Jacksonville Police Department, Wilmington Police Department, and Naval Criminal Investigative Services — participated in an operation to rescue victims of trafficking.
The task force located a female in Wilmington who was a victim under the control of Christopher Neal.
Neal is suspected of exploiting other unidentified victims and was arrested Monday for human trafficking. He was given a $250,000 secured bond.
