WACO, Texas (KWTX) McLennan County deputies rescued 19-year-old human trafficking from a local motel Wednesday and arrested a 32-year-old Indiana man who's charged with continuous human trafficking.
Deputies found the teenager in a room at the Deluxe Motel in South Waco and a man they say was her pimp in an adjoining room.
The girl, who told authorities she had been trafficked as a prostitute since she was 15, was put on a bus and sent home to Indiana, McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said Thursday.
McNamara said the teenager was trafficked as a prostitute up and down Interstate 35 for more than a year.
He said she had been trying to escape.
"She was so relieved," he said.
Jason Sales, 32, also of Indiana, remains in the McLennan County jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.
