"Arrest Made in Multi-State Sex Trafficking Ring, Victims Rescued at Monroeville Motel"

A man from Euclid, Ohio, is facing multiple charges, including trafficking in individuals and involuntary servitude, in a human trafficking case that unfolded after victims were found in a Monroeville motel room. The investigations were conducted jointly by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and Homeland Security Investigations. The case began in May when investigators surveilled a room at a motel and spoke with two women and a teenager who discussed sending images of themselves to be posted in online advertisements. The victims revealed that they would sell themselves and give the suspect most of the profits. After months of investigation, the authorities tracked down one of the victims in Ohio, who identified the suspect. The man has been arrested in Ohio and will be extradited to Pennsylvania to face charges.
