According to reports from CBS 4 Miami and The Miami Herald, a trio including two twin brothers and a 20 year old female, were arrested in Miami Springs (at the Miami Springs Inn) on human trafficking charges on Thursday, June 20.
According to the reports, the trio allegedly kidnapped a 20 year old North Carolina woman and forced her into sex prostitution here in Miami. The reports state the alleged traffickers stayed in a Miami Springs Motel at night and, according to The Herald, “would go to Miami Beach during the day to find people to purchase sex with the victim.” The report also said the traffickers would solicit clients online.
On Friday, June 21st, Miami-Dade State Attorney, Katherine Fernandez-Rundle, held a press conference with a variety of local law enforcement officials including Miami Springs Police Chief, Armando Guzman.

Could it be that the alleged victim was actually in collusion and now she just wanted to get rid of her companions?
