A couple in Marion County, Florida, was arrested and charged with human trafficking after they allegedly bonded three women out of jail and gave them housing but forced them into prostitution.

Joselito Martinez and Tanya Wurster are charged in connection with the human trafficking of three women between 2019 and 2021 at various locations throughout Central Florida, the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation said in a press release, according to Fox 35. 

After the couple bonded the women out of jail and provided them a place to live, the women were allegedly forced to engage in "commercial sex acts with customers," which helped the pair rake in more than $300,000 from the victims over the course of two years.

According to investigators, Martinez used "narcotics, threats of violence, and humiliating acts such as shaving the victim's head to control the victim." Deputies said he also forced two women to receive tattoos to brand them as his property. 

The child Martinez and Wurster share together was also in the home where the alleged prostitution had occurred.

Investigators said they believe there are likely additional victims since Martinez and Wurster were often looking for new victims.

Martinez and Wurster were arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail.

Police in Pennsylvania say they "firmly believe" they have recovered the body of 2-year-old Mattie Sheils, who went missing last week during severe flash flooding.

In a press conference Friday evening, Upper Makefield Township Police Chief Tim Brewer said that "based on the physical description and the clothing found on the body, [they] firmly believe that the body of 2-year-old Mattie Sheils has been recovered, pending further identification process."

At approximately 5 p.m., Philadelphia Police received an anonymous 911 call about a child's body in the Delaware River, near the city's wastewater treatment plant, authorities said. The anonymous caller "advised" police that there was a body in the Delaware River.

A second caller gave authorities a physical description of a child near the Philadelphia wastewater disposal plant.

When emergency crews arrived, they discovered the child's body "in debris," Brewer said.

By 5:30 p.m., the child was pronounced dead and transported to the Philadelphia medical Examiner's office. Official identification is pending, and an autopsy is expected to be performed on Saturday.

Authorities said that the 2-year-old was 32 miles from where she was swept away, along with her mother, 32-year-old Katie Seley, and 9-month-old brother Conrad, in flash flooding in Berks County, Pennsylvania on July 15.

Teams are continuing to search for Maddie's brother, Conrad, up and down the Delaware River and will continue the extensive search Saturday.

The flooding claimed the lives of five people, including Mattie and Conrad’s mother, 32-year-old Katie Seley. 

Seley, her fiancé, and their three children were visiting from Charleston, South Carolina for a family barbecue when their car became one of several that was swept away. Her fiancé, mother, and 4-year-old son were able to escape the floodwaters or were later rescued.

Chief Brewer said that their "hearts are broken this evening" from the news.

"All in all, our hearts are broken this evening," Brewer said. "Although Maddie was found 32 miles away from where she was lost, she has never been closer to all of our hearts as she is now."

"We cannot begin to fathom the pain they are experiencing, but we will never leave their side as they deal with this tragedy," he added.
