The Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Division is a statewide prosecutorial team partnered with the Massachusetts State Police, investigators, and victim witness advocates. The division investigates and prosecutes sex trafficking and labor trafficking cases throughout the Commonwealth, often involving complex issues and coordination with local and federal law enforcement and victim service providers. The division also co‑leads the Commonwealth’s Anti‑Trafficking Task Force, a multi‑disciplinary body that brings together partners across sectors to address all forms of human trafficking, and coordinates statewide policy, training, and education efforts.

The Assistant Attorney General will investigate and prosecute sex trafficking and labor trafficking criminal cases across all jurisdictions in Massachusetts, with a focus on Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties. Responsibilities include working within a multidisciplinary team (victim witnesses, law enforcement, financial investigators, service providers), conducting victim and witness interviews, assessing financial and documentary evidence, executing search warrants, participating in a multi‑agency task force to share intelligence, pursuing forfeiture actions, formulating investigative strategies, preparing search warrants, analyzing documents, interviewing witnesses, leading document‑ and witness‑intensive grand jury investigations, drafting immunity and/or cooperation agreements, making charging, venue, and plea‑bargaining recommendations, and prosecuting complex cases in superior courts.

Participation in training and outreach efforts in the four targeted counties may also be required.
