Today, 36-year-old Keith Robertson was sentenced to two life sentences after been found guilty of the human trafficking of a minor and an adult. A Miami-Dade County jury convicted Robertson in January of transporting a minor who was in foster care in California along with a 20-year-old to our community with the intention of exploiting them for his financial benefit. The skilled prosecutorial team of Assistant State Attorney’s Yaneth Baez and Shaymaa Shwel were able to successfully educate the jurors about the crime of Human Trafficking to obtain Robertson’s conviction. I want to acknowledge the hard work of these dedicated prosecutors and the efforts of the investigators and staff of my Human Trafficking Unit whose efforts have ensured that Keith Robertson will be unable to exploit our young people again in the future.
