‘Pornographic photos of distraught-looking missing child appear on sex trafficking websites’
Pornographic photos of an upset-looking child who has been missing for almost two weeks have reportedly appeared on sex trafficking websites.
Aviana Weaver’s mother Angelica Scarlett was distraught to hear about the snaps of the missing 17 year-old, and is convinced Aviana is now being held captive.
She told NJ101.5: ‘We have pornography pictures and my daughter looked completely upset and unhappy in these photos.’
Speaking to CBS3, Scarlett added: ‘I’m upset but right now I’m angry.
‘I’m a mom who’s on a mission and I’m angry, and I’m not going to stop until she comes home…
‘The biggest concern right now is that we believe she’s been involved in human trafficking.
‘We believe people are holding her against her will.’
