Police rescue 2 teen girls from Md. human trafficking ring

WASHINGTON — A Laurel man is charged with multiple counts of human trafficking and prostitution in a case involving two teen girls that spanned Maryland, Virginia and the District.

The case got its start after Howard County detectives who are focused on monitoring websites known for illicit ads, including Backpage, saw the photo of a young teen on a number of sites. An undercover detective reached out to the girl and later learned she was 13 years old.

“In doing so, (the detective) posed as a young teen who was inquiring about working with the girl to make money. Immediately the girl replied, ‘Absolutely, we’ll come pick you up at a public location,'” said Sherry Llewellyn, spokeswoman with Howard County Police.
