HARTFORD, Conn. (WGGB/WSHM) – Across the state line in Connecticut, a DCF employee is facing charges after helping a sex trafficking suspect evade police.
On Friday afternoon, Hartford police were notified of an individual at the Department of Children and Families office who had a warrant for his arrest for child trafficking offenses.
When they arrived and began searching for the suspect, who was Melissa Roberson’s client, he allegedly took the woman and her 4-year-old son out of the building through a back exit and took her to another location.
Roberson is now charged with hindering prosecution and risk of injury to a minor.
