¶1. (U) Per Reftel, the following is Embassy Kingston's submission 
of information requested for the 2010 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) 
report: 
 
 
 
¶2. (SBU) Jamaica's TIP Situation 
 
-------------------------------------- 
 
 
 
¶A.      Sources of information include: Jamaican media; the 
Government of Jamaica (GOJ)'s TIP Task Force; the Ministry of 
National Security (MNS); Ministry of Labour and Social Security 
(MLSS); Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF); the Bureau of Women's 
Affairs (BWA); the Office of the Children's Advocate (OCA); the 
Ministry of Justice (MOJ); the Director of Public Prosecutions 
(DPP); Embassy Kingston's Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS); 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); U.S. Agency for 
International Development (USAID);  NGO Children First; NGO 
Independent Jamaica Council on Human Rights (IJCHR); NGO Hear the 
Children Cry; NGO International Organization for Migration (IOM); 
NGO Women's Incorporated; NGO People's Action for Community 
Transformation (PACT); NGO Theodora Project; NGO Western Society 
for Upliftment of Children (WSUC); and NGO Organization for 
Strategic Development in Jamaica (OSDJ).  Each of these sources may 
be considered generally reliable, but none may be considered 
authoritative.  The last comprehensive study of Jamaica's TIP 
situation was in 2005, and no additional studies are planned in the 
near term. 
 
 
 
¶B.      Jamaica is a source, transit, and destination country for 
women and children trafficked for the purpose of sexual 
exploitation and forced labor.  The majority of victims are poor 
Jamaican women and girls, and increasingly boys, who are trafficked 
from rural to urban and tourist areas for commercial sexual 
exploitation.  Trafficking is also purported to occur into and 
within Jamaica's garrison communities, which are effectively 
territories outside of the government's control.  There are also 
reports of children being forced to sell items in informal 
marketplaces.  Child sex tourism in resort areas has been 
identified as a problem.  Some Jamaican women and girls have been 
trafficked to Canada, the United States, the Bahamas, and other 
Caribbean destinations for commercial sexual exploitation. 
However, instances of trafficking from Russia and Eastern Europe 
have reportedly been curtailed due to higher work permit fees for 
foreign exotic dancers. 
 
 
 
There has been one successful TIP prosecution under Jamaica's 2007 
Trafficking Act, in 2008.  However, the Ministry of Justice advises 
that many TIP cases are prosecuted in local Resident Magistrate 
courts under different laws (under the Child Protection Act, for 
example, or as prostitution, kidnapping, or carnal abuse offenses) 
and are therefore not reported as trafficking cases.  The JCF 
superintendent in Negril confirmed this, noting that there had been 
at least three TIP cases filed under non-TIP charges in the local 
Resident Magistrate's court since August 2009; this is likely the 
case in other jurisdictions as well.  Given that there is 
inadequate coordination and communication between GOJ authorities 
in Kingston and local officials on the ground, it is likely that 
TIP cases are routinely underreported. 
 
 
 
¶C.      Trafficking victims are generally subjected to involuntary 
prostitution in locations far from their home communities.  Victims 
are generally forced to work in bars, restaurants, nightclubs, 
brothels, resorts, on the streets or on beaches, and have little 
capacity to return to their home communities due to lack of funds. 
 
 
 
¶D.      Generally, women and girls from rural and inner-city 
garrison communities are more at risk of human trafficking, 
although young boys are increasingly at risk as well. 
 
¶E.       There do not appear to be any large scale trafficking 
organizations at work in Jamaica, although small scale operations 
are likely to exist.  Young girls are purportedly trafficked into 
and within garrison communities for purposes of forced prostitution 
by the criminal syndicates that control such enclaves.  There is a 
widespread belief among the NGO community that many if not most of 
those children reported as "missing" are trafficked into garrison 
communities or tourist destinations.  Similarly, much of the 
prostitution in Montego Bay appears to be under the control of 
pimps, referred to as "bosses" or "big men," although contacts in 
Negril doubted that such was the case in that resort area.  Victims 
are typically recruited by persons close to them or newspaper 
advertisements promoting work as spa attendants, masseuses, 
dancers, or to work in the tourist industry; after being recruited, 
victims are coerced into prostitution.  The JCF superintendent in 
Negril also reported the increasing use of the Internet and cell 
phone text messages to lure TIP victims into the commercial sex 
trade in tourist areas.  In one case, a contact reported that she 
and a friend answered an advertisement to work as a masseuse. 
After traveling from Montego Bay to Kingston by bus, their 
passports and other documents were taken from them during their 
initial "job interview."  Luckily, the two friends escaped, leaving 
their documents behind, and were forced to beg money for the return 
bus fare home. 
 
 
 
¶3. (SBU) Setting the Scene for the GOJ's Anti-TIP Efforts 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---------------------- 
- 
 
 
 
¶A.      The GOJ took significant steps to apprehend, investigate, 
prosecute, and convict trafficking offenders during 2009.  The GOJ 
prohibits all forms of trafficking through its comprehensive 
Trafficking Act of Jamaica (2007).  The Act, which prescribes 
sufficiently stringent penalties of up to 10 years' imprisonment, 
applies to those who committed, facilitated, or knowingly benefited 
from the offense.  The GOJ acknowledges that trafficking occurs and 
is a concern, and has shown considerable dedication and 
resoluteness in addressing the issue.  In July, Parliament approved 
a child pornography bill, criminalizing commercial sexual 
exploitation of children.  The law applies to the production, 
possession, importation, exportation and distribution of child 
pornography, and carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' 
imprisonment and a fine of USD 5,600. 
 
 
 
¶B.      The GOJ's National Anti-Trafficking Task Force, located 
administratively in the Ministry of National Security, coordinates 
among various NGOs and government agencies - including the MOJ, 
MLSS, JCF, BWA, OCA, CDA, DPP, IOM, PACT, and Women's Incorporated 
- on trafficking-related matters as per the national action plan. 
Major Richard Reese, the MNS Permanent Secretary (PS), serves as 
the Chairman of the National Anti-Trafficking Task Force.  A 
specialized police anti-trafficking unit within the Organized Crime 
Division of the JCF compiled data on trafficking investigations and 
related legal proceedings. 
 
 
 
¶C.      Limitations on the GOJ's ability to address TIP problems in 
practice include: the generally slow pace of the Jamaican judicial 
process, with most cases taking months or even years to litigate; 
the lack of communication and coordination between the GOJ and 
local authorities; GOJ financial constraints due to Jamaica's 
historically poor economic performance and inordinately high 
debt-to-GDP ratio, which has resulted in most government revenues 
being used to service the GOJ's debt.  Nevertheless, despite these 
constraints, Post believes that the GOJ continues to make good 
faith efforts to prosecute TIP cases, through both the Trafficking 
Act and other legislation, as evidenced by the three cases 
initiated in Negril in 2009 as well as the arrest and prosecution 
of a prominent Jamaican-American evangelist for carnal abuse of two 
underage girls in Savannah-la-Mar. 
 
¶D.      The GOJ has done a commendable job of monitoring and 
reporting on its anti-TIP efforts, and has been forthcoming with 
those assessments with the USG and other international 
organizations. 
 
 
 
¶E.       The GOJ establishes the identity of local populations 
through a virtually universal birth registration system and a 
national electoral registration system. 
 
 
 
¶F.       Despite fiscal constraints and the lack of coordination 
between the national government and local authorities, the GOJ is 
capable of gathering the data required for an in-depth assessment 
of law enforcement efforts.  The last major study, "Human 
trafficking for sexual exploitation and forced labour in Jamaica," 
was released in 2007, although it used non-random sampling methods. 
The primary gaps appear to be lack of coordination between the DPP, 
MOJ and local Resident Magistrate courts, and between the MNS/JCF 
and local JCF units in the field.  While economic growth and an 
improved fiscal climate might ameliorate the situation, much of the 
problem appears systemic and engrained in the political culture, 
with local authorities often not reporting on their activities to, 
or coordinating with, the national government. 
 
 
 
¶4. (SBU) Investigation and Prosecution of Traffickers 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------------------- 
 
 
 
 
¶A.      The GOJ's Trafficking Act became law in 2007.  Trafficking 
cases also may be prosecuted under the Child Protection Act of 
2004, which specifically prohibits the trafficking of minors, as 
well as statutes prohibiting prostitution, kidnapping, and carnal 
abuse.  In 2009, the Offences against the Persons Act was amended 
to provide greater protections to children, by omitting references 
to "girls and women" and replacing them with the more inclusive 
"persons".  Parliament also passed the Sexual Offences Act, which 
provided for the establishment of a Sexual Offender Registry and 
for the first time collected all offenses of a sexual nature under 
one piece of legislation.   The Child Pornography Prevention Act, 
enacted by Parliament to address the issues of pornography and 
pornographic performances, will provide for prison sentences of up 
to 20 years, as well as fines of up to USD 500,000. 
 
 
 
¶B.      The Trafficking in Persons Act provides penalties of up to 
10 years' imprisonment for permitting or facilitating trafficking. 
It also allows for restitution to the victim.  The Child Care and 
Protection Act specifically prohibits the sale or trafficking of 
minors and provides that violators receive the maximum penalty 
under the law. This law subjects convicted traffickers to a fine or 
imprisonment with hard labor for a term not exceeding 10 years, or 
both. 
 
 
 
¶C.      Punishment of labor trafficking offenses carries the same 
penalties as trafficking for sexual exploitation. 
 
 
 
¶D.      Under the 2009 Sexual Offences Act, the crime of rape 
carries a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. 
 
 
 
¶E.       During 2009, the JCF conducted at least four raids and 
made two arrests on trafficking charges, although there were no 
convictions under the Trafficking Act or the Child Care and 
Protection Act.  However, at least three cases were brought in 
Resident Magistrates court in Negril on carnal abuse charges that 
met the G/TIP definition for trafficking, and it is likely that 
 
similar TIP cases filed under different statutes were prosecuted in 
other jurisdictions.  For example, in June, a prominent 
Jamaican-American evangelist was arrested on carnal abuse charges 
in Savannah-la-Mar for having sex with a 15 year-old girl in his 
hotel room while a 14 year-old girl was present, after which he 
gave them money.  The case was filed in Resident Magistrates court 
in Savannah-la-Mar and is ongoing. 
 
 
 
Four outstanding cases were mentioned in the 2009 TIP report.  In 
one, four minors pleaded guilty to lesser charges, and in return 
were cooperating with authorities in building a trafficking case 
against an adult suspect.  In another, authorities and family 
members decided to repatriate the victim, a Burmese national, to 
her home country rather than press charges.  A third case is 
scheduled to go to trial in March 2010, while in the fourth the 
suspect has absconded while on bail and his current whereabouts are 
unknown. 
 
 
 
The GOJ's TIP Task Force reports that it had received information 
on 32 potential victims in 2009: 12 are involved in active cases 
that are currently before the courts, while  the other 20 were 
involved in either cases for which sufficient evidence was not 
available for prosecution or cases in which overtures were made, 
but no offence occurred. 
 
 
 
¶F.       Law enforcement training taught ways to identify 
trafficking victims and directed police not to charge the victims 
with crimes such as solicitation or pandering. The IOM, in 
collaboration with the MNS and using its manual on prevention and 
suppression of trafficking, trained judicial authorities and 
attorneys in the DPP's office to adequately address such issues. 
In July, the MNS conducted training for Resident Magistrates, 
prosecutors, JCF anti-trafficking units, Narcotics and 
Transnational Units, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign 
Trade (MFAFT), and NGOs during a two-day conference. The MNS also 
provided specialized training for operators in its Victim's Support 
Unit and maintained a trafficking hotline. 
 
 
 
¶G.     The GOJ does cooperate with other governments in the 
investigation and prosecution of trafficking cases.  In January 
2009, the GOJ cooperated with colonial authorities in Curacao 
regarding the cases of 10 Jamaicans who were lured to the 
Netherland Antilles by the promise of work, only to be locked up 
and forced into prostitution. Four victims escaped, but information 
was not available on the remaining six. 
 
 
 
¶H.      The GOJ did not extradite any persons charged with 
trafficking in other countries in 2009. 
 
 
 
¶I.        Although official corruption is endemic in Jamaica, there 
is no evidence of government involvement in, or tolerance of, 
trafficking on a local or institutional level. 
 
 
 
¶J.        Although there has been no evidence of government 
involvement in human trafficking, there have been a number of 
anti-corruption cases prosecuted against government officials in 
2009 up to and including Members of Parliament and junior Cabinet 
ministers.  Were any government officials involved in human 
trafficking, or if any cases are brought to light in the future, it 
appears likely that they would be prosecuted to the full extent of 
the law. 
 
 
 
¶K.      In early 2010, the GOJ contributed Jamaica Defence Force 
(JDF) troops to provide aid following the January 12 earthquake in 
Haiti.  None of these troops are known to have engaged in or 
facilitated severe forms of trafficking or to have exploited 
 
victims of such trafficking, and therefore the GOJ did not have the 
occasion to investigate, prosecute, convict or sentence any 
nationals engaged in peacekeeping operations. 
 
 
 
¶L.       Child sex tourists visiting Jamaica hail primarily from 
the United States, Canada, and Europe.  Although child sex tourism 
is widely believed to take place in popular tourist destinations 
such as Montego Bay and Negril, such cases are difficult to 
identify and there have been few arrests or prosecutions in recent 
years.  However, in June, a prominent Jamaican-American evangelist 
was arrested on carnal abuse charges in Savannah-la-Mar for having 
sex with a 15 year-old girl in his hotel room while a 14 year-old 
girl was present, after which he gave them money.  The case was 
filed in Resident Magistrates court in Savannah-la-Mar and is 
ongoing. 
 
 
 
Given the fact that most trafficking cases are likely prosecuted 
under other statutes in local Resident Magistrate courts, it would 
be difficult to ascertain the number of prosecutions or 
deportations/extraditions of foreign pedophiles. 
 
 
 
Jamaica's child sexual abuse laws do not have extraterritorial 
coverage. 
 
 
 
¶5. (SBU) Protection and Assistance to Victims 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---------- 
 
 
 
¶A.      Jamaica has free health care in all public hospitals and 
health centers, which provides medical and, if necessary, 
psychological treatment, for the public (both nationals and 
non-nationals); these services are not specifically reserved for 
victims.  As part of GOJ rescue guidelines, medical attention is 
also provided early in the rescue team's contact with victims.  In 
addition, the GOJ provides trafficking victims access to and pays 
for medical, psychological, legal, and victim protection services 
through a formal referral process to a private shelter for victims 
of domestic abuse operated by the NGO Women's Incorporated. 
Existing laws provide for the government to assist victims with: 
understanding the laws of Jamaica and their rights; obtaining any 
relevant documents and information to assist with legal 
proceedings; replacing travel documents; any necessary language 
interpretation and translation; meeting expenses related to 
criminal proceedings against their traffickers; and provision of 
shelters and assistance to cover expenses. 
 
 
 
¶B.      The GOJ is in the process of establishing three 
government-run shelters for trafficking victims, the first of which 
is expected to become operational in February or March 2010.  In 
addition, the GOJ pays the expenses of trafficking victims referred 
to a private shelter for victims of domestic abuse operated by the 
NGO Women's Incorporated; these funds account for about 20 percent 
of the shelter's funding.  A privately-run shelter, Theodora House, 
also operates in Negril without GOJ support.  Foreign victims have 
the same access to care as domestic trafficking victims. 
 
 
 
The CDA managed facilities for at-risk children, and the government 
provided funding to NGOs that worked to reintegrate child laborers 
who were victims of trafficking.  Child victims are typically 
returned to their families, and only referred to shelters, foster 
care, or juvenile justice detention centers as last resorts. 
 
 
 
There is no specialized care for male victims, although Jamaica has 
free health care in all public hospitals and health centers, which 
provides medical and, if necessary, psychological treatment, for 
the public (both nationals and non-nationals). 
 
¶C.      The GOJ provides trafficking victims with access to legal, 
medical, and psychological services through referrals to NGOs such 
as Women's Incorporated and provides funding for these referrals. 
Existing laws provide for the government to assist victims with: 
understanding the laws of Jamaica and their rights; obtaining any 
relevant documents and information to assist with legal 
proceedings; replacing travel documents; any necessary language 
interpretation and translation; meeting expenses related to 
criminal proceedings against their traffickers; and provision of 
shelters and assistance to cover expenses. 
 
 
 
¶D.      Victims are not penalized for immigration violations or 
other unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being 
trafficked.  The GOJ allows foreign trafficking victims 
participating in a law enforcement investigation or prosecution to 
remain in Jamaica until their cases have been completed and their 
safe return to their home countries is certain.  The MNS's Victim 
Support Unit and the IOM assists with voluntary repatriations.  For 
example, in one 2008 case, a Burmese national who had entered 
Jamaica on a valid work permit was discovered to have been working 
in an unauthorized business, was not being paid, and had had her 
passport withheld from her by her Burmese-Jamaican employer.  Based 
on the victim's preference, the GOJ and the IOM assisted in 
repatriating her back to family in Burma. 
 
 
 
¶E.       Through its referrals and grants to NGOs such as Woman's 
Inc., the GOJ does assist with counseling, skills training, and 
educational programs to assist trafficking victims in reintegrating 
into society and rebuilding their lives. 
 
 
 
¶F.       The JCF utilizes a referral process designed by IOM 
("Investigative Manual for Jamaican Human Trafficking") to transfer 
victims detained, arrested or placed in protective custody to 
institutions providing short- or long-term care. 
 
 
 
¶G.     According to the Director of Public Prosecutions and the NGO 
Women's Inc., no new trafficking victims were identified in 2009. 
The Office of the Children's Registry received 13 reports of child 
trafficking in 2009. 
 
 
 
¶H.      The GOJ's law enforcement, immigration, and social services 
personnel are trained in and utilize formal systems of proactively 
identifying potential trafficking victims among high risk 
populations with whom they come in contact, and to refer these 
victims to NGOs for short- or long-term care.  The JCF utilize an 
identification and referral process designed by IOM, the 
"Investigative Manual for Jamaican Human Trafficking." 
 
 
 
¶I.        The rights of trafficking victims are respected.  If 
identified as such, trafficking victims are typically referred to 
shelters at GOJ expense or returned to family members.  No TIP 
victims were knowingly fined or prosecuted for any violations in 
¶2009. 
 
 
 
¶J.        Pursuant to its anti-trafficking statute, the GOJ 
encourages victims to assist in the investigation and prosecution 
of trafficking.  Victims also may independently file civil suits or 
take other legal action against their traffickers in order to 
obtain restitution, and victim access to such legal redress is not 
impeded..  However, given that no cases were filed in 2009 under 
the Trafficking Act or Child Protection Act, and given that many 
trafficking cases are prosecuted in local Resident Magistrate 
courts under different statutes, it would be difficult to determine 
how many victims assisted in the investigation and prosecution of 
traffickers during the reporting period. 
 
Victims who are material witnesses in court cases against former 
employers are permitted to obtain other employment and/or to leave 
the country pending trial proceedings. 
 
 
 
¶K.      The GOJ and NGOs routinely provide specialized training for 
law enforcement personnel, immigration and customs agents, consular 
and embassy officials, judges, court clerks, and social service 
workers in identifying trafficking victims and in the provision of 
assistance to trafficking victims, including the special needs of 
trafficked children. 
 
 
 
¶L.       Once the Jamaican authorities have been advised that a 
victim is being repatriated, these services along with shelter 
arrangements are available.  The MOJ's Victim Support Unit is 
active in this regard. 
 
 
 
¶M.    A number of international organizations and NGOs work with 
trafficking victims in Jamaica, including: U.S. Agency for 
International Development (USAID);  NGO Children First; NGO 
Independent Jamaica Council on Human Rights (IJCHR); NGO Hear the 
Children Cry; NGO International Organization for Migration (IOM); 
NGO Women's Incorporated; NGO People's Action for Community 
Transformation (PACT); NGO Theodora Project; NGO Western Society 
for Upliftment of Children (WSUC); and NGO Organization for 
Strategic Development in Jamaica. 
 
 
 
Services provided include shelter, counseling, education, training, 
reintegration, and legal assistance.  Cooperation with local 
authorities appears to vary, with very close working relationships 
between local authorities and NGOs in Kingston and less 
coordination in Negril and Montego Bay. 
 
 
 
¶6. (SBU) Prevention 
 
------------------------- 
 
 
 
¶A.      The GOJ made steady efforts to further raise the public's 
awareness of trafficking during the reporting period.  The GOJ 
conducted anti-trafficking education campaigns in schools and rural 
communities and operated telephone hot lines to report abuses. 
Local NGOs used videos, billboards, and live theatrical 
performances to highlight the dangers of trafficking, and also 
included anti-trafficking components in outreach to vulnerable 
populations, especially in popular tourist destinations.  The 
campaigns targeted potential trafficking victims. 
 
 
 
¶B.      The GOJ's Passport and Immigration Control Authority (PICA) 
monitored immigration and emigration patterns for evidence of 
trafficking. 
 
 
 
¶C.      The GOJ's TIP Task Force, housed in the MNS, is responsible 
for coordinating and communicating between the various agencies 
(internal, international, and multilateral) and NGOs working on 
trafficking-related matters. 
 
 
 
¶D.      The GOJ has a national plan of action, drafted in 2005, to 
address trafficking in persons and continues to make progress in 
its implementation.  NGOs were involved in crafting the national 
plan of action. 
 
¶E.       The GOJ funds an active public health awareness campaign 
to promote safe sex and condom usage, primarily as a means of 
combating HIV/AIDS.  However, such messages are also relevant 
toward reducing the demand for commercial sex acts. 
 
 
 
¶F.       The GOJ continued its policy of restricting the issuance 
of, and significantly raising fees on, "exotic dancer" work permits 
for Jamaican hotel establishments, which reportedly has virtually 
removed Russian and Eastern Europeans from Jamaica's adult 
nightclubs.  This may be effective in preventing sex trafficking. 
Beginning in late 2009, the JCF has initiated a campaign to curtail 
incidents of prostitution (much of it by underage girls, many of 
whom have been reported missing) in the Backroads area between 
Kingston and Portmore.   PICA has also been more vigilant in 
denying entry to visitors it suspects are potential trafficking 
victims. 
 
 
 
¶G.     Not applicable. 
 
 
 
¶7. (SBU) Partnerships 
 
--------------------------- 
 
 
 
¶A.      Since its inception in 2005, the GOJ's TIP Task Force has 
been a model for coordination between government (MNS, MOJ, PICA, 
MLSS, BWA, CDA, JCF, OCA, DPP), civil society (PACT, Women's 
Incorporated), and multilateral organizations (IOM).  This 
collaboration has resulted in the successful development of a 
national plan of action, the implementation of anti-trafficking 
legislation, the raising of public awareness regarding trafficking, 
and the expansion of shelters and treatment facilities, both NGO 
and GOJ, across the island. 
 
 
 
¶B.      The GOJ does not have the financial resources to provide 
international assistance to other countries to address TIP. 
 
 
 
¶8. (SBU) New Requirements for the Child Soldiers Prevention Act 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---------------------- 
------------ 
 
 
 
¶A.      Not applicable, as Jamaica has not been the subject of 
allegations regarding unlawful child soldiering. 
 
 
 
¶9. (SBU) Point of Contact 
 
------------------------------ 
 
 
 
¶A.      Embassy Kingston's point of contact on TIP matters is 
William Baker, Political Officer, FS-04, telephone (876) 702-6000, 
ext. 6149, IVG 929-6149, fax (876) 702-6336.   This report was 
drafted in 18 hours; related investigations and meetings involved 
40 hours.
