2 charged, accused of pimping out 16-year-old, other girls

ORLANDO, Fla. — Following a six month investigation, authorities raided a home where two of three people renting it were arrested on charges of human trafficking.

Aaron George was one of the people arrested, and authorities said he is a career criminal who has had 55 felony arrests.

Authorities also said George was recently released from prison on human trafficking charges one month before the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation started their investigation.

Authorities believe there are five victims, including a 16-year-old runaway girl who was rescued.

Investigators said the teen was drugged and the trio would pimp her out and force her to have sex across central Florida with as many as five men a day.

"It's beyond my understanding how anybody can do that kind of thing to a 16-year-old girl or anybody for that matter. He had her strung out on drugs," said MBI director Larry Zwieg. "He had her strung out on molly and cocaine and was controlling her and putting her in this situation and pimping her out basically.

Authorities told Channel 9 they have a plan to keep the suspects behind bars for a lot longer this time.
