Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis pours red sand into a sidewalk crack outside of the Luzerne County Courthouse on Wednesday after a short presentation on human trafficking. The “red sand” event, hosted by the NEPA Task Force Against Human Trafficking, was designed to remind people of those who fall through the cracks in our society, and become victims of trafficking. “Unlike drugs, humans can be sold repeatedly,” Salavantis said. The task force is affiliated with the Victims Resource Center of Luzerne County.
