Take from a local paper, names edited out. What is interesting is that this is first time I have heard of MSP making a hobby bust.

Human trafficking charges

Also indicted last week was 29-year-old  xxxxx, of no fixed address, for three human trafficking charges and one prostitution charge.

According to a charging document put together by Maryland State Police , xxx acted as a pimp for a 17-year-old runaway. xxx advertised the girl's services on a website, saying that she was 15.

According to MSP, an undercover officer arranged a "date" with the girl at the Days Inn on Route 1 in North Laurel. After she was confronted by police, the girl, a Prince George's County runaway, told authorities that she was originally placed into prostitution by another individual who took her to Atlanta.

While in Atlanta, the girl was contacted by xxxx, who bought her a bus ticket to Maryland and became her pimp, according to charging documents. The girl told police that xxx required her to make between $500 and $600 each night —charging $80 for 15 minutes of sex and $160 for an hour— and give all the money directly to him. If she didn't make the required amount, xxx would threaten to withhold her lodging and food, the girl told police.

Additionally, the girl said that xxx took sexually explicit photos of her that he posted online to "ensure a steady stream of dates."
