14-Year-Old Girl In Human Trafficking Case Back In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 14-year-old girl who authorities say was brought to North Dakota in a human trafficking case has returned home to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas police say the girl was located in town Wednesday.

The teen girl's mother contacted police earlier this month after seeing messages from Backpage.com on her daughter's email account and seeing a photo of a girl who looked like her missing daughter.

Two people are charged with felony human trafficking in the case being sent back to North Dakota.

Authorities say 18-year-old Kevin Fleming was arrested this week in Las Vegas.

Police also say 20-year-old Tayari Meadows told police she believed the girl was 18 and that she was helping the girl escape from her mother.

It wasn't immediately clear if they had attorneys.
