Georgia man caught in Miami with girl, 15, thought to be ‘groomed’ for trafficking, cops say

MIAMI – Miami police say they arrested a suburban Atlanta man late Thursday night after a car chase, crash and foot pursuit after he brought a 15-year-old girl from the Peach State to South Florida — after having likely “groomed” her for sex trafficking.

According to the Miami Police Department, the teenager was in the car with 39-year-old Sterling Henderson and “severely injured” when he wrecked it in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood.

An MPD arrest report states that Henderson, of Decatur, Georgia, insinuated in a police interview that he may have raped the victim at one point.
