A 27 year old man was arrested Thursday night on charges of trafficking two underage girls for sex, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
Police identified the suspect as Rakim Sharkey.
Officers say Sharkey was 'pimping out' the young girls for sex to paying customers and pocketing the proceeds.
One of the girls escaped and notified her mother that she and the other girl were not being allowed to leave.
They went to the location given by the one girl and found the other girl, and they identified Sharkey out of a photo line up.
