Woman Arrested for Trafficking 3 Minors

A 15-year-old and her mother filed a complaint with police that the girl had been persuaded to accompany a woman to a local hotel where she was handed over to a man who paid the woman to have sex with the girl. During the subsequent investigation, police discovered that the same woman was in the process of trafficking another 2 minors for sex.
