Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear will be in Marshall County today.

Beshear will address local business leaders on how his office is working to combat human trafficking and improve the safety of Kentucky families. Beshear will be speaking at the Marshall County Rotary Club's meeting at Majestic Pizza & Steakhouse in Draffenville at noon. State Rep. Will Coursey and Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Byars are also expected to attend.

Over the last year, Beshear has established the Attorney General’s office as the leading agency fighting human trafficking, a modern-day form of slavery in which adults and children are forced into sex or labor. Earlier this month, Beshear announced his office is offering human trafficking training in Western Kentucky this week for health care workers, law enforcement officials, first responders and civic leaders.
