Queens Man Accused Of Sex Trafficking 2 Teens Held Against Their Will

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Queens man is accused of sex trafficking two teenage girls.

The Queens district attorney said 29-year-old Tyrone Miles held the teens against their will last month at a Jamaica hotel.

He allegedly forced them to have sex with strangers for cash, and then pocketed the money.

The DA said the girls, ages 16 and 17, were threatened, and one was badly beaten for trying to leave.

Miles faces up to 50 years in prison, and both teens are now safe.
