HOUSTON — Prosecutors say a 14-year-old girl’s mother and her grandmother have been charged in Houston with forcing the child to work as a prostitute.
The women, ages 33 and 55, remained in the Harris County Jail on Friday. Investigators say the mother is charged with compelling prostitution of a minor and held on $20,000 bond. The grandmother faces the same charge, plus is charged with possession of a controlled substance, heroin. The older woman’s bond was set at $35,000.
Spokeswoman Donna Hawkins with the Harris County District Attorney’s office says the teen told police that she was being forced into prostitution to help the women pay their living expenses. The two women were arrested Tuesday after the girl led officers to a motel.
