MIAMI – Miami-Dade police introduced the arrest of a man in a human trafficking case involving a teenage girl.
According to police, 27-year-old Christian Manuel Carvajal of Miami used to be arrested on Saturday at roughly 11:57 a.m.
Authorities stated detectives from Miami-Dade police’s Human Trafficking Squad gained information of a web-based advert for sex that includes an underage girl who were reported missing since 2019.

“The dedication to duty and hard work of the detectives of our Human Trafficking Squad cannot be overstated. This is just one example of the victims that our officers work tirelessly to bring home every day. For far too long, this juvenile victim has been in the hands of the worst kinds of individuals, those who prey against our vulnerable youth. During this Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and every month of the year, we remain committed to bring more victims home,” stated MDPD Director Stephanie V. Daniels.
