NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Deputies have arrested a woman and a man accused of trafficking a teenager for sex.
According to Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet, deputies responded to a hotel in reference to a disturbance when they contacted a 19-year-old female from Alabama. Deputies also contacted Katrice Yolanda Brown, 30, who lives in Orlando, Fla.
Investigators learned that the teen met a man named Michael Ashford, also of Orlando, on social media. Officials say she entered into an agreement with Ashford to exchange sex for money “in an attempt to better her living situation.”
