February 26, 2025 by Indiana Chronicle Leave a Comment

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Indiana State Police’s Special Investigation Detectives, and the Bluffton Police Department, are investigating a case of human sex trafficking of a child that occurred in Allen County and Marion County, Indiana. Leticia Granados (21), Fort Wayne, and Harley Cooley (20), Fort Wayne, have been accused of recruiting a child for the purpose of sex trafficking. The child had been recovered by family members who reported the trafficking to law enforcement. The Indiana State Police special investigator then began a months-long investigation into the trafficking of this minor.
