FRESNO, CA. (KMJ) – Two people are arrested in Hanford after a missing 15-year-old was found.

They got a tip that their daughter was in Hanford at the Western States Inn.
The teen told Hanford PD that she met up with an acquaintance, 21-year-old Dasha Smith (above), who drove her to Las Vegas and convinced her that she could make money in prostitution, and and would later take her to Atlanta, Georgia with the promise of making several hundred dollars prostituting.

She was with her infant child and 18-year-old Xzaivier McGee (above).
Smith was arrested for human trafficking and pandering, McGee was also arrested for sexual acts with a minor.
The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information to contact the Hanford Police Department.
