Los Angeles: The Los
Angeles Police Department’s Operations Valley Bureau-Human
Trafficking Task Force is seeking additional victims of Human
Trafficking.
On February 3, 2020, Operations Valley Bureau-Human Trafficking
Task Force arrested Christopher Moss, 33-year-old from Dallas,
Texas for Human Trafficking.
In February North Hollywood Area Officers responded to a domestic
violence radio call. During the officers investigation it was
discovered that the victim had been engaging in commercial sex acts
at the demand of her trafficker.
Operations Valley Bureau Human Trafficking Task Force assumed the
investigation and immediately went into action and was able to
provide the victim with advocate services.
This investigation has lead us to working in collaboration with
other cities and states who may have an investigative interest in
this case.
As the officers continued the human trafficking investigation it
was obvious more victims were involved and needed to be located.
We are asking for the public’s assistance in locating any
additional victims. Detectives believe there are additional
victims who have not filed police reports.
The above photograph is a tattoo that was branded onto one of the
victims. Often times a human trafficker will brand their victims as
a sign of ownership in the pimp culture. The crown represents
royalty and when the victim has earned it, the human trafficker
will brand them. This specific tattoo also had the letter ‘D’ and
inside is the $ symbol.
Christopher Moss moniker is “Daddy Cash” and the ‘D’ represents
Daddy and the $ symbol represents cash.
It is important to note that any victim that comes forward, will
not be in any kind of trouble. We have resources available to
victims that come forward.
Anyone with additional information regarding Christopher Moss, or
anyone who may have been a victim are asked to call Operations
