A Pembroke Pines woman was arrested on sex trafficking charges after authorities said she forced multiple women into sex work, giving them heroin and fentanyl to "subdue" them.
Elise Mizrachi, 41, is facing human trafficking and other charges, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced Friday.
Pembroke Pines Police began investigating Mizrachi after a few of her alleged victims escaped and came forward, Moody said.
Investigators discovered that Mizrachi, who was already on probation for trafficking heroin, had recruited multiple women addicted to fentanyl and heroin and coerced them into sex work.
