Three individuals were arrested in South Florida following the discovery of a missing 15-year-old Texas girl, who was reportedly being sold for sex according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations. NBC Miami reports that the agencies had been on the lookout for the teen since May 1, after she was reported to have run away from home. They found her advertised in a "commercial sex" online listing. NBC Miami revealed that undercover detectives reached out to the phone number attached to the advertisement and arranged a meeting.
Detectives intercepted the girl as she was being dropped off in a white Hyundai Kona. The vehicle was promptly stopped, and three suspects—identified as 21-year-old Josiah Sneed, 18-year-old Yasmin Cobb, and 25-year-old Clifton Ray Foster, Jr.—were taken into custody and charged with interfering with custody. As this case unfolds, it has yet to be determined whether these individuals will eventually face more severe charges related to sex trafficking. The trio was taken to Turner Guilford Knight Center without issue, as per NBC Miami.
In a report obtained by Local 10 News, the arrests occurred in Doral, an undisclosed location within this suburban city. The court records further indicate that Clifton Ray Foster was released on a $2,500 bond, while Yasmin Cobb and Josiah Sneed were each released on a $1 bond. As of the latest updates, the accused had not yet been charged with human trafficking.
