Pandering/ Solicitation sits at a nexus of other crimes. It may be accompanied by, or related to, robberies, thefts, assaults, drug dealing/possession, and sexual assault. The Oshkosh Police Department remains steadfast in our unwavering commitment to combating human trafficking and related crimes, and we continue to work diligently to investigate crimes of this nature.
