, Ariz. (
) — A Pima County grand jury has indicted two women suspected of encouraging a teenage Phoenix runaway to prostitute herself in Tucson.
Prosecutors say 24-year-old Moraima Guadalupe Selig and 18-year-old Whitley Alicia Minter have been jailed and charged with child prostitution of a minor under 15. If convicted, prosecutors say the women could each be facing prison sentences of up to 27 years.
A Tucson police patrol officer spotted the 14-year-old girl apparently soliciting on a Tucson street April 24. When questioned, the teen admitted she was the missing girl from Phoenix and was being trained as a prostitute.
Police say the girl has been reunited with her parents, who had hired a private investigator to look for her.
