Fairfax County man charged with holding 17-year-old girl hostage for sex trafficking

MCLEAN, Va. (WJLA) - Fairfax County police have arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly holding a 17-year-old girl captive for three months, during which he used her in a sex trafficking operation.
Manuel A. Contreras of Kaiser Place in the county portion of Falls Church allegedly met his victim on Facebook. Police said the two "friended" each other and began communicating often.
Eventually the two agreed to meet in person, and then, police said he allegedly took her captive and held her at his home for the next three months.
"For months...the woman was reportedly victimized and exploited," police said in a statement Friday. "The man allegedly threatened the teen, locked her in a room, and took her phone."
Police said the girl was never reported missing, and no one learned what was going on until someone in Contreras' household eventually became concerned and sent a tip to police. Detectives from the county's Human Trafficking Unit then investigated and arrested Contreras.
Contreras has been charged with abduction with intent to defile and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Police said Friday they are concerned there may be additional victims in similar situations and are actively investigating other cases.
Fairfax County's "Just Ask" Prevention project was launched in January and works to produce information and educational information on the issue of human sex trafficking, primarily in teens. Public service announcements, such are posted to the justaskva.org website. A Spanish website is also located at http://justaskva.org/es/.

probably fx co gov elevated charges (which is highly illegal and gets jailtime for lawyers and or judges)
that is: was it real captivity ? or could she have left at her own will and did not ?
i didn't see this story on CNN - so im supposing the charges are not nation-wide worthy - and even that CNN is informed by fx co gov to ignore the story
on the other hand i also suspect the whole thing never occured becasue my source is: ffu and fx co gov :)
