ALEXANDRIA, VA – The two women arrested last month and accused of running a sex trafficking ring are a mother and daughter, according to a new report that reveals more details about the case.
ALX Now reports that the 21-year-old and 51-year-old Fairfax County parent and child were busted after Virginia State Police got an anonymous tip that the pair might be offering sex work out of two apartment buildings.
The women were arrested on May 4.
According to the report, police surveilling the two buildings, one in Huntington and one in the West End, saw a stream of male visitors arrive, enter, and leave after 15-45 minutes.
Police also say an undercover agent was able to arrange a commercial sexual transaction over text.
The women have a preliminary hearing on June 30.
