ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Two more people have been charged with prostituting a 14-year-old girl who died of a drug overdose in central Florida.
Karla Alsina, 20, and Arthur Coleman, 26, were arrested Saturday evening in Atlanta. Orlando police arrested 19-year-old Avorice Holman and 22-year-old Jose Santiago-Sotomayor last Wednesday.
The four are accused of luring the 14-year-old and a 15-year-old girl into prostitution in August.
Police say the younger girl overdosed on a combination of Xanax and the cold medicine dextromethorphan on August 14th. She was reportedly told if she took them they would help her forget about having sex with men.
The 15-year-old was rescued.
An affidavit the four used Backpage.com to find clients and drove the girls to meeting locations.
The suspects each face multiple charges including first-degree murder and human trafficking of a child.
