Two teenagers have been accused of pimping out fellow schoolgirls in an underground prostitution ring.
Tatiana Tye and Jazmine Finley allegedly rented a flat and forced at least five girls, aged from 14 to 17, to undergo child sex abuse for profit.
The pair, from Maricopa Country in Arizona, were also said to be working as prostitutes themselves.
Police are treating the girls - both aged 16 - as adult suspects and have charged them with multiple counts of child prostitution, pandering and receiving the earnings of a prostitute.
Phoenix police spokesman Sergeant Andy Hill said: "We have a situation of two girls, 16 years old, who are, in essence, pimps.
