In Wyoming, zero new criminal human trafficking cases were filed in federal courts in 2021. Zero defendants were convicted. There are zero new or active defendants, so zero percent of new or active defendants were charged with sex trafficking, and zero percent were charged with forced labor. Since zero defendants were convicted in Wyoming federal court, none were ordered to pay restitution to their victim(s). Federal courts have never ordered a convicted Wyoming human trafficking defendant to pay restitution, and 2015 was the only year in which a Wyoming trafficking defendant was convicted.
