A jury convicted seven MS-13 gang members, including three from Woodbridge, and associates on charges of sex trafficking a minor under the age of 14 and other child sexual exploitation offenses.

According to court records and evidence presented at trial, in August 2018, the 13-year-old victim ran away from a youth home in Northern Virginia. Shortly after running away, the victim was introduced to members of MS-13. Gang members told her they would be her family and protect her if she joined the gang, according to a court press release.

Collaboration among Child Protective Services, Community Services, law enforcement, the County Attorney's Office, and the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, for an encompassing approach to child abuse cases, will decrease the number of times children will need to be interviewed.
