Man arrested in multi-state sex trafficking ring; 3 victims found at Monroeville motel

A man has been arrested in connection to a multi-state sex trafficking ring, and investigators said three victims were found at a motel in Monroeville.

Donte Lashawn Cole, 38, was arrested in Ohio Friday morning and will be extradited back to Pennsylvania.

Attorney General Michelle Henry announced the arrest on Friday afternoon.

A news release said Cole is charged with recruiting at least three young women into a trafficking ring. One of the victims was a teenager and was recruited when she was just 12 years old.
