#CHARLOTTE — The #CharlotteMecklenburgPoliceDepartment is investigating the possibility that a 13-year-old girl may have been the victim of #sextrafficking .

According to police, the #CMPD #humantrafficking task was made aware that the girl was being treated at a local hospital on Jan.1.

Police immediately launched an investigation and found out the girl was communicating with representatives from an #onlineescortservice and negotiating a plan to make money through the #escortservice .

The investigation revealed that the victim worked with representatives of the escort service, but was never held against her will or in captivity, which Channel 9 had initially reported.
