Three Charged In Human Trafficking Case

By Liz Thomas

Three people are accused of forcing an 18-year-old woman into prostitution.

Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Jody Hilger calls Chris Smiley, Ayannah Willis and Lotoya Harlin modern day slave traders.

They're facing ten felony counts for allegedly making the victim work as a prostitute inside Indy motels, selling her on the internet to a string of "Johns."

Hilger confirms it's one of the first cases of human trafficking in Marion County, but she says it's a bigger problem than most residents realize.
