United States Attorney Trent Shores announced today the results of the June Federal Grand Jury A.

“The federal justice system continues, as it must, even during a public health crisis and civil unrest. Through it all, the men and women of the United States Attorney’s Office continue working with our law enforcement partners to protect and serve the public,” said U.S. Attorney Trent Shores. “The grand jury indictments returned this week involved allegations of child sex trafficking, possession and distribution of child pornography, and federal firearms violations.”

The following individuals have been charged with violations of United States law in indictments returned by the Grand Jury.
