In our work every day at Andreozzi + Foote, we stand with survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The recent operation in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, is a reminder that the demand side of sexual exploitation is integrally connected to the suffering of victims behind the scenes.

On November 12, 2025, the Cumberland County Human Trafficking Task Force executed what they described as their 13th impact operation under “Operation Impact Demand.” The result: 13 men arrested for attempting to pay for sexual favors in a hotel setting. 

List of those arrested:

• Steven Cisney, age 55, of Port Royal (Juniata County)
• Devin Hannold, age 43, of Duncannon (Perry County)
• Jonathan Holsinger, age 66, of Harrisburg (Dauphin County)
• Yam Kadariya, age 52, of Mechanicsburg (Cumberland County)
• Pirtha Magar, age 38, of Carlisle (Cumberland County)
• Aaron Miller, age 44, of Halifax (Dauphin County)
• Chad Smith, age 43, of Dover (York County)
• Bruce Tran, age 53, of Elkridge, Maryland
• Vineet Tripathi, age 42, of Enola (Cumberland County)
• Purjeet Vaghela, age 19, of Middletown (Dauphin County)
• Jason Viscount, age 50, of Boiling Springs (Cumberland County)
• Tory Williams-Gray, age 20, of Harrisburg (Dauphin County)
• Davin Young, age 24, of Mount Holly Springs (Cumberland County)

District Attorney Sean M. McCormack stated: “The money individuals spend on prostitution-related activities is the money that fuels human trafficking in Cumberland County. … Our message is clear if you plan to commit this crime, do not come into Cumberland County.”

Why this matters

Human trafficking thrives on the twin pillars of supply and demand. While much attention rightly focuses on the victims and those who exploit them, operations like this one highlight the critical role of those who purchase sexual favors, whose actions fuel the entire industry of exploitation. When the demand is deterred, we strike at the root of the system.

For survivors seeking justice, actions like this send a powerful message: trafficking is no longer hidden or tolerated; it is being actively combatted. For families, schools, and community organizations, it underscores the need for awareness, vigilance, and pathways to support.

What survivors should know

If you or someone you know has been exploited or trafficked, don’t wait. The firm and the community are here to help. At Andreozzi + Foote, our mission is to hold accountable those who profit from or facilitate exploitation, while centering the dignity, autonomy, and healing of survivors.

Key points:

• You may be eligible for civil remedies even if criminal charges are still pending.
• Preservation of evidence, timelines, communications, and medical records can be critical.
• Emotional, psychological, and physical scars are valid injuries that deserve attention, support, and justice.
• Community partners (trauma-informed counselors, victim-advocacy agencies, and legal aid) exist to help navigate the path forward.

What institutions must do?

When operations like this make headlines, it’s easy for institutions, schools, faith communities, nonprofits, and colleges to say “That’s great,” and move on. But the work must continue, and it must be systemic:

• Training staff and volunteers to identify red flags of exploitation.
• Creating clear, accessible reporting channels for survivors and witnesses.
• Partnering with law enforcement and victim-services agencies in a trauma-informed way.
• Integrating prevention education (especially with youth) that discusses not just “stranger danger” but the complexities of grooming, demand, and power imbalance.
• Advocating for reforms: statute of limitations extensions, mandatory reporting, decriminalization of surviving victims, and increased funding for victim services.

Why this is relevant to you

Whether you are a survivor, a family member, an educator, or a community advocate, the ripple effects of arrests like these matter. They reinforce that exploitation is not “just” crime, it is a profound harm to human dignity. They demand we respond with both urgency and compassion.

At Andreozzi + Foote, we believe in justice interrupted, breaking the cycle of abuse, retrieving the power taken from survivors, and shifting the burden from victims to the perpetrators. This recent operation in Cumberland County offers hope. But hope alone is not enough. Action must follow. Awareness must deepen. Healing must be supported.
