The Illinois State Police have taken their efforts to stop human trafficking to the next level. Three suspects were just arrested and accused of the worst kind of human trafficking of children.

According to the press release just shared recently by the Illinois State Police, they just completed a two-day sting in the Yorkville area of Kendall County, Illinois. The focus has led to the arrest of these 3 persons and all were charged with felonies:

  • Nathanael Beckley (34) of Bolingbrook, IL – Traveling to Meet a Child (Class 3 Felony)
  • Salvo Campagna (39) of Plano, IL – Indecent Solicitation a Child (Class 3 Felony), Traveling to Meet a Child (Class 3 Felony), and Solicitation to Meet a Child (Class 4 Felony)
  • Marcus Ramirez (26) of Sandwich, IL – Indecent Solicitation a Child (Class 3 Felony), Traveling to Meet a Child (Class 3 Felony), and Solicitation to Meet a Child (Class 4 Felony)

They emphasize that all suspects are assumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This was a joint effort between Illinois State Police special agents and SWAT plus Kendall County Police Assistance Team, Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, Yorkville Police Department, DuPage Metropolitan Enforcement Group, Will County Police Assistance Team, and North Central Narcotics Task Force according to the information provided in the press release.

It was only a few days ago when the Illinois State Police emphasized an increased focus on the horrific issue of human trafficking in the state. Now there are actions to back up those words.
