洛杉矶县男子强迫14岁中学生通宵分拣衣物：劳工贩运等罪判刑5年
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县地方检察官办公室11月10日通报，现年27岁的 Brandon Holguin 已被判处5年州监狱监禁。他此前对三项重罪不抗辩：以劳工为目的的人口贩运、在可能造成重大身体伤害或死亡情形下的虐待儿童，以及向未成年人提供受管制药物。
检方称，Holguin 在一家二手商店结识当时14岁、就读于 La Crescenta 一所中学的受害人，此后数月频繁以短信、电话和见面方式联系对方，声称可以「帮忙」。2025年5月2日，他将少年骗上车并拿走其手机，将其带到一间汽车旅馆房间，给他服用阿得拉（Adderall），强迫他通宵分拣衣物，为其二手服装网店备货。
2025年5月5日凌晨约2时，Holguin 将少年遗弃在洛杉矶一条高速公路旁。少年家人随后报案，当局曾发布无线紧急警报并出动嗅探犬大范围搜寻。Holguin 于2025年5月9日被捕。
法院还判令 Holguin 向受害人支付4,300美元赔偿。地方检察官 Nathan J. Hochman 表示，此案显示儿童可能成为劳工剥削的目标，检方将严厉追究此类犯罪。

Los Angeles County Man Sentenced to Five Years for Labor Trafficking a 14-Year-Old Middle Schooler
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office in California announced on November 10 that Brandon Holguin, 27, has been sentenced to five years in state prison. He had pleaded no contest to three felonies: human trafficking for labor, child abuse under circumstances likely to cause great bodily injury or death, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor.
Prosecutors said Holguin met the victim, then a 14-year-old student at a La Crescenta middle school, at a thrift store, then contacted him frequently for months by text, phone and in person, promising to "help" him. On May 2, 2025, he lured the boy into his car and took his phone, brought him to a motel room, gave him Adderall, and forced him to work all night sorting clothing for Holguin's online second-hand clothing business.
At about 2 a.m. on May 5, 2025, Holguin abandoned the teenager beside a Los Angeles freeway. The boy's family reported him missing, and authorities issued wireless emergency alerts and used scent dogs in an extensive search. Holguin was arrested on May 9, 2025.
The court also ordered Holguin to pay $4,300 in restitution to the victim. District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said the case demonstrates how children can be targeted for labor exploitation and that his office will prosecute such crimes vigorously.
