Sam O’Reilly, OSINT Investigator, Canada Anti-Human Trafficking Consortium | Sergeant, British Army

Sam O’Reilly is an OSINT Investigator with the Canada Anti-Human Trafficking Consortium and a Sergeant in the British Army, specialising in open-source intelligence and analytical investigations into human trafficking and illicit activity within the hospitality sector.

At the Consortium, Sam supports cross-border investigations that monitor massage parlours, online advertisements, and other hospitality-linked venues often exploited as fronts for sexual exploitation. His work helps identify trafficking indicators, map organised networks, and support intelligence sharing between agencies and advocacy partners.

Alongside his human trafficking work, Sam is a professional in blockchain investigations and asset seizure, applying structured analytical methods to trace digital assets and understand how traffickers and criminal networks conceal profits within complex financial systems.

Combining military precision with investigative depth, Sam’s research focuses on uncovering how traffickers operate within legitimate industries and financial infrastructures to mask exploitation. His aim is to expose these hidden systems and strengthen international responses to human trafficking and financial crime.
