“Women and girls are too often treated as criminals in cases like this,” said Constable Alan Rosen. “We must begin treating them as victims and get them the help they need.”

The victim involved in the incident was offered a variety of resources to aid her recovery from this ordeal, investigators said.

Precinct One has established a hotline where you can always report human trafficking.

Anyone with information about human trafficking victims is asked to call 832-927-1650.
