More Human Trafficking Charges For Mount Olive Man: Prosecutor

MOUNT OLIVE, NJ— A Mount Olive man charged with human trafficking has been charged with new counts after a police investigation revealed more victims, the Morris County Prosecutor's office said.

Michael Keenan, 23, was charged this week with human trafficking, prostitution, and endangering the welfare of a child.

The Dec. 8 charges are in addition to his previous two charges: human trafficking and promoting prostitution.

Keenan is being held on $250,000.

The investigation is still ongoing, and police ask anyone with information to call
