Tacoma women charged with promoting sexual abuse of a minor
Two women promised a local 17-year-old a job via Myspace. Their intent did not become apparent until they dropped the girl off on Pacific Highway South at night and instructed her to pay them the money she was to earn for various sex acts. She offered to pay them from her checking account, but they refused to take her home. On the street, she called her mother, who came to pick her up.
