All four have been charged with fourth-degree conspiracy and second-degree promoting prostitution.
"The child’s age is exceedingly common in human trafficking cases and illustrates why my office is fighting to eliminate the statute of limitations for sex trafficking."According to the indictment, the four defendants worked together to traffic the victim, who frequently ran away from home. The defendants would post prostitution ads on various escort websites, featuring nude or half-dressed photos of the victim.
