Two men have been accused of enslaving a 15-year-old girl and forcing her into prostitution, prosecutors say.
Terron Morancis, of Queens, and Quindell Hill, of Brooklyn, were both indicted Thursday on multiple charges including sex trafficking, kidnapping and promoting prostitution, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
The two men are accused of holding the girl against her will over a one-week period in May, sexually assaulting her and posting photos of her on a website where she was advertised as a prostitute.
The men also allegedly prostituted her to several men in Brooklyn and Queens over that period, Brown said.
The girl was able to escape for a short time and called her mother, who in turn contacted police. Investigators were able to locate the teen and the men were arrested.
Morancis, 29, and Hill, 33, both face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted, Brown said.
An attorney for the men declined comment.
