Secret Recording Leads to Child Trafficking Victim's Rescue After Sister Calls 911: HCSO

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office rescued a 13-year-old girl from the A1 Motel in Tampa on Saturday after her sister called 911.
The rescue followed the victim's secret voice message to her sister, indicating she was in danger and held against her will by two men.
Authorities determined that the two suspects, Marlon Alfaro-Alvarez, age 28, and Floyd Amaya Garvin, age 25, used social media to contact the girl and lured her under deceptive circumstances.
Alfaro-Alvarez faces charges including human trafficking, lewd molestation, and false imprisonment, while Amaya Garvin faces human trafficking and related charges; Sheriff Chronister called their actions "predatory and calculated."
The suspects were stopped before causing more harm, and the ongoing investigation may lead to additional charges, underscoring law enforcement's commitment to protect children.
