Man Charged With Human Trafficking In San Mateo County

Man Charged With Human Trafficking In San Mateo County

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A Florida man was arrested Saturday on suspicion of human trafficking a female victim in the San Francisco area after moving her to a Peninsula hotel.

Alexander Robinson, 29, was accused of trafficking the 19-year-old victim for sex in San Francisco after moving with her across the country into a Travelodge in South San Francisco.

According to the San Mateo District Attorney’s Office, Robinson met the victim in Florida in June and they drove across the country — first to Reno and then to the Bay Area. Robinson “took all the money and constantly beat her up,” and also threatened to kill her if she “looked at another man or another pimp,” according to prosecutors.

Robinson was arrested after the victim dialed 911 on Aug. 28 and police found her with bruises and injuries all over her body, according to prosecutors.

Robinson pleaded not guilty and remains in custody on $300,000 bail.

Predators are targeting children all over America. They do this because it is lucrative and they think they can get away with it. Children are often too trusting, and even the most engaged parent may not realize what is happening until after tragedy strikes. Special Operations’ network of undercover private investigators gathers the evidence to help law enforcement rescue victims and arrest the criminals. After the rescue, we ensure survivors remain safe and begin the journey of restoration. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly towards keeping kids safe. We cannot do this work without your support.
