In this episode of The 411 Live, Beverly Taylor talks to Attorney, Jennifer Williams, former prosecutor for the Milwaukee County DA’s office specializing in sex trafficking. We will look inside the justice system and its fight against sex trafficking. Former prosecutor, Jennifer William breaks down where sex trafficking begins for some victims to the aftermath in court. She goes on to say, “Because every single date that a victim survives is really a rape.” She also goes into her experience of observing and talking to the sex traffickers. The manipulative behavior, using others to recruit, and how they’re much smarter than it seems. The justice system’s battle with sex trafficking continues to be a complicated situation. Follow along as Beverly Taylor and guest explore the world of sex trafficking through the judicial system’s eyes.

BEVERLY TAYLOR, HOST

Beverly Taylor is a prober, listener and talker. She utilized all those skills as an anchor and reporter at WITI-TV (Fox 6 News). During her 21 years there, Beverly became a very recognized face in southeast Wisconsin. The most rewarding aspect of the job for her was telling stories that make a positive difference in people’s lives and stories that bring awareness. That included multiple stories about sex trafficking, which makes this podcast about the subject a logical fit.

For her efforts, Beverly has received a lot in return. She’s met people in different stages of life: during their most joyous times, their most vulnerable times, and their most painful times. These people have given Beverly tremendous examples of courage, generosity and determination.

Beverly has received many honors for her reporting, including three EMMY nominations. The University of Tennessee graduate also has a Master’s Degree in Dispute Resolution from Marquette University. She left TV news in December of 2019. Resolving conflict is another way she hopes to make a positive difference in the lives of others. She is a video production contractor, voice-over artist and podcaster.

Putting God first is a constant aim for Beverly. She is a member of New Testament Church of Milwaukee, and loves hanging out with her husband Julian and son, Nate.
