A man has been indicted and arrested for alleged human trafficking in Springfield, Tennessee.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says in May, agents began investigating a tip to the Tennessee Human Trafficking Hotline from management at a hotel in Springfield. The hotel reported suspicious activity that appeared consistent with mandatory human trafficking training employees had received.
Investigation identified 44-year old Timothy Duke of Livingston, Tennessee as the individual at the hotel with a juvenile.
On September 24th, the Robertson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Duke with two counts of aggravated statutory rape. Friday, Duke was taken into custody by the Overton County Sheriff’s Office and booked into the Robertson County Jail on $25,000 bond.
