A 29-year-old man is accused of recruiting, for commercial sex work, a person he thought was a 16-year-old San Jose girl but was actually an undercover cop.
SAN JOSE — A Maryland man has been arrested on suspicion of human trafficking after he tried to recruit someone he thought was a 16-year-old San Jose girl into commercial sex work on the East Coast, only to discover that he had been corresponding with an undercover cop, authorities said.
The arrest caps a months-long criminal investigation by the Santa Clara County Law Enforcement Investigating Human Trafficking task force, which in the case of Dawkins involved an undercover police officer posting a profile of a teen girl on social-media forums known for sex trafficking communications.
Through “extensive conversations with an undercover officer, the suspect solicited the female for commercial sex trafficking,” San Jose police said in a statement.
