    Defendant appealed from the trial court's judgment of sentence after his jury conviction of multiple counts of trafficking in individuals and related crimes. The court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting Commonwealth's expert testimony on human trafficking and sexual violence victim dynamics pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §5920 where defendant was accused of human trafficking involving sexual servitude and related crimes.
