SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Five people have been arrested in connection with a human trafficking case involving a minor in Savannah.

The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to WTOC that each of the five arrests involve the same victim, but each are for a separate case, meaning the suspects allegedly met with the minor at different times or dates.

The following five suspects were arrested between Thursday and Friday:

Antonio Devaris White, 34
Michael Eugene Holsey, 34
Kevin Lee Joyner, 42
James Sinclair, 33
Devonte Milton, 27, registered sex offender

White, Holsey, Joyner and Sinclair are charged with trafficking a person for sexual servitude.

Milton is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. CCSO said the case is ongoing and additional charges are likely.

Milton was previously sentenced to prison time for computer pornography and sexual exploitation of a child in July 2021. According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, she was supposed to serve 20 years in prison for that conviction, but was released after three months with credit for time served. She was ordered to serve the rest on probation.

Court records show Milton is on probation until 2041.
