Two Men Charged in Minor Sex-Trafficking Cases

A 43-year-old Fort Lauderdale man, Terrence Lee, was arrested in Tallahassee after a multistate search for a missing 13-year-old girl ended with officers finding her hiding beneath a bathroom sink in a motel room. Investigators say Lee picked her up in Louisiana, drove with her through several states, and posted online advertisements seeking to sexually exploit her for money; court documents also say he met her on a dating app and later learned she was 13. Lee faces human-trafficking and child-exploitation-related charges, and the investigation remains ongoing.
