Law enforcement authorities arrested Bogacski Thomas and Tavarus Ballard, both 24, and charged them with human trafficking, drug possession and robbery, among other crimes, according to records from the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department.

A 16-year-old girl suffered through a horrific two-week ordeal in January in which her alleged captors used the money she earned from johns to buy hotel rooms, food and drugs, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle told reporters on Tuesday,according to WBFS-TV.

The kidnappers allegedly beat her and threatened violence against the unidentified girl’s family if she tried to escape, while plying her with Molly, cocaine and marijuana, WTVJ-TV reported.

“She to them was nothing more than a walking machine," Fernandez Rundle said, according to the local TV station. "No dignity, not a human being, not a young girl, a cash machine. That's how these predators look at them.”

The circumstances surrounding the girl’s disappearance and escape haven’t been fully released yet. But officials said the brothers’ victim ran away from her home with another girl who was Thomas’ girlfriend, a minor who investigators are questioning to determine if she is a victim or suspect in the disturbing saga, WBFS reported.
