Amber Peak, a 33-year-old Lake Worth resident, was charged with human trafficking of a minor and child abuse
A Florida woman was arrested on Sunday for she allegedly introduced two teens to a phone application that they were to use to advertise themselves for prostitution.
Amber Peak, a 33-year-old Lake Worth resident, was charged with human trafficking of a minor and child abuse and is currently being held at Palm Beach County's Main Detention Center.
The Florida Department of Children and Families contacted the Palm Beach County Human Trafficking Task Force after a 17 and 16-year-old 'were introduced to prostitution by Amber Peak through a phone application,' according to a police report obtained by the Miami Herald.
On Sunday, the 17-year-old met with authorities and told them that she ran away from home approximately four months ago and was staying at her friend's. Peak is said to have known the 16-year-old.
Peak 'was working as a prostitute through a smart phone application,' the teen told police.
'Victim 1 advised that Peak told Victim 1 and Victim 2 about this application and that they can make money from older men,' investigators said in their report.
