A woman from New Jersey called ECC to report that a subject who lived somewhere in Loudoun County was engaged in sex trafficking. She reported that he had rented a house with a Purcellville zip code. An officer called and spoke to her about this matter. In support of her allegations, she sent a variety of documents related to a cyber security conference. She also told the officer that she had already spoken to the FBI and a Defense intelligence agency. She told the officer that she has never met the purported sex trafficker in person, but has chatted with him during online conferences.
