ST. CLOUD, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) – Ashley Pick, age 33, has been charged with multiple offenses related to sex trafficking and promoting prostitution. According to court records, she was involved in trafficking two women between February 2024 and May 2024.
An investigation by the Central Minnesota Human Trafficking Task Force led to the discovery of text messages on Pick’s phone that revealed several encounters negotiated between her and potential clients for sex acts. Both victims were hired for these services, with Pick taking part of the profits from each encounter.
Pick has a prior conviction related to aiding and abetting the promotion of prostitution, which resulted in a seven-year prison sentence in 2018. She now faces two felony counts of promoting prostitution of an individual and two felony counts of receiving profits from prostitution.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for December 2.
