SEATTLE - The Seattle Police Department (SPD) arrested two teenagers for human trafficking after they allegedly held a woman captive in the Mt. Baker neighborhood Thursday night.

According to SPD, around 9 p.m., the father of the 18-year-old victim called 911 saying that his daughter was being held against her will near the corner of S College St. and 29th Ave. S.

The father told police his daughter came to Seattle for MLB All-Star Week, but when she arrived, they began losing communication. The victim was told by a friend in her home state of Texas that she could get a lot of money by going to Seattle close to the All Star Games and could dance at the clubs there, according to court documents.
