Woman busted for human trafficking, soliciting prostitution

A 25-year-old is accused of trafficking a teen for sex and soliciting prostitution herself.

Tulsa police say vice officers set up a sting near Highway 51 and Memorial Wednesday evening.  An officer set up the meeting by using the website Backpage.com.

The suspect let the officer inside her place and agreed to perform a sexual act for $100.  At this point, the officer identified himself and took the unidentified girl into custody.

While being questioned, the girl confessed to being just 15-years-old.  Police say she told officers about her 25-year-old friend, Alyssa White, who was helping her post ads on the website and set up dates.

So, vice gave White a call and set up a date with her.  Like her teenage friend, White agreed to perform a sexual act for $100.

She was then arrested and taken to the Tulsa County Jail.

Police say she faces one count of human trafficking and one count of soliciting an act of prostitution.

The teen's name wasn't released because of her age.
