Response & intervention
Investigators called the case one of the most significant joint child-sex-crimes collaborations between Phoenix police and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. Phoenix has conducted dozens of child-prostitution investigations that led to 80 or more arrests, indictments or convictions since officers rescued a 15-year-old girl in 2005 from a couple who kidnapped her, held her captive for 42 days in a dog kennel, and sold her for gang rapes. unkown : link to article : http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/2009/11/28/20091128sexcrimes1128.html
