  • $450,000 of the verdict was for punitive damages against Purpose Point Harvesting for violating an antitrafficking law.
  • The men worked excessive hours without proper pay, according to attorney Teresa Hendricks.
  • Victims face coercive control and fear retaliation, including deportation, which makes it rare for labor trafficking cases to go to trial.
