Detectives determined that the female juvenile survivor was held against her will, threatened and forced to engage in commercial sex acts in exchange for money by a man identified as Jolaun Canton, 22, of San Jose.

The arrest stemmed from the suspect initiating online contact with someone whom he believed to be a 16-year-old San Jose female who was in fact an undercover police officer, then buying a plane ticket to fly her to Baltimore for sexual purposes.

Jing Chiang Huang was originally charged with sex trafficking, tax fraud and money laundering in Santa Clara County Superior Court.
