This couple used to run a conversion therapy camp. Now they've been charged with human trafficking.
The former operators of a conversion therapy camp have been indicted on a number of charges related to alleged abuse, including human trafficking and forced labor.
Gary and Meghann Wiggins are accused of forcing at least four boys at their home for troubled youth in Texas to work for them in their businesses and abusing and neglecting them.
Gary Wiggins, 49, had previously run a conversion therapy camp in Alabama for boys. Several of the boys ran away from that home and accused him of denying them food and putting them in solitary confinement as punishment.
