2 Indicted On Child Sex Trafficking Charges
BALTIMORE (AP) -- A grand jury in Maryland has returned a superseding indictment against two Massachusetts men for allegedly forcing a young teenage girl into prostitution.
The indictment against 24-year-old Rayvon Archibald and 30-year-old Jonathan Went was returned Tuesday. Prosecutors say Archibald is from Boston, but did not know what town Went is from.
The two were originally indicted on charges of sex trafficking of a child. The superseding indictment adds kidnapping and other offenses.
The indictment alleges that Archibald encountered a girl younger than 14 in New York City gave her alcohol and drugs, and took her by bus to Went's apartment in Gwynn Oak, Maryland. Prosecutors say the two men solicited commercial sex customers for the girl.
