Attorney General Chris Carr announced that the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit has secured four new convictions in the metro Atlanta area.

Raphel Olivia Sewer, Courdale Thayer, and Jahaundria Seabron were convicted for trafficking a 14-year-old girl in Fulton, County. Thayer was also convicted for trafficking a 16-year-old in DeKalb, where Seabron was additionally charged and had pleaded guilty earlier. Carr highlighted the team’s dedication to rescuing children from trafficking, recalling how they successfully recovered a 14-year-old victim who had been missing for seven weeks.

This year, the unit has achieved 22 new convictions, all resulting in prison sentences. Following a 10-month investigation triggered by a missing persons alert, Sewer, Thayer, Seabron, and Jody Netter were indicted. Details include sentences ranging from 30 to 40 years for the defendants, with mandatory registration as sex offenders. The ongoing case against Netter continues. The unit is currently managing 39 defendants under indictment for trafficking, with some facing multiple charges across different jurisdictions.
