A third person has been charged in connection with the alleged exploitation and trafficking of a teen girl in Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY —
In April, a 17-year-old girl went to a medical clinic in Salt Lake City that specializes in helping people with drug addictions obtain clean hypodermic needles. The girl was with Kent Weston Busco, 46, who "would not allow to leave his line of sight and repeatedly spoke over her instead of allowing to talk to staff," according to charging documents.
Charging documents released Tuesday state the teen also met Rafal who told her "he would give her meth and money in exchange for sex." Prosecutors say Rafal knew the girl "was struggling financially and needed money for food, gas and/or drugs."
