A TEEN girl sent a tragic message begging for help after she was lured to a motel by two alleged predators on social media.
The 13-year-old had pleaded with her captors to let her leave but she was repeatedly blocked from leaving the motel room.
The horror unfolded in late May when cops got a 911 call from the victim’s sister.
She’d received a voice message the victim had secretly recorded and immediately called 911.
Investigators said the suspects had been communicating with the girl on social media.
They allegedly picked her up under false pretenses and brought her to the motel, where they offered her money for sex.
The girl repeatedly asked to go home but was blocked from exiting the room.
That’s when she decided to send a discreet message to her sister.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office swooped in and rescued her on Saturday, May 31.
When officers arrived, they found one suspect trying to escape the room at A1 Motel in Tampa, Florida.
Marlon Alfaro-Alvarez, 28, was caught climbing out of a bathroom window.
Inside the motel room, cops found Floyd Amaya Garvin, 25, with the victim.
Both men were arrested on human trafficking and exploitation charges.
Alvarez is accused of human trafficking of a minor, lewd and lascivious molestation, and exhibition charges.
Additional charges include false imprisonment, resisting an officer without violence, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Garvin faces human trafficking, false imprisonment, and contributing to a child’s delinquency charges.
The investigation is ongoing and more charges may be filed, police said.
“This child was lured, isolated, and targeted by adults who made the deliberate choice to exploit her,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said.
“Their actions were not impulsive – they were predatory and calculated.
“Thanks to the bravery of this young victim and the swift response of our deputies, we stopped these men before they could cause even more harm.
“Let this be a clear message: in Hillsborough County, we don’t turn a blind eye to those who prey on children — we turn the full force of the law against them.”
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The U.S. Sun.
