A Washington man stands accused of trafficking two young girls from Oregon, aged 11 and 15. The man, known as Sleez on Instagram, allegedly promised the girls money if they traveled to Seattle from their rural homes. Once in the Seattle area, the man is said to have sexually assaulted the 15-year-old, while others allegedly assaulted the 11-year-old. The following day, he allegedly took the girls to a prostitution hub and instructed them on how to sell themselves. The man, identified as Ezra Wimana, 25, has been charged with human trafficking, rape of a child, and promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor. Washington law states that children cannot legally consent to sex until the age of 16. Wimana was arrested by Bellevue police and is currently in custody with a bail set at $500,000. He is scheduled to be arraigned on February 22 at the King County Courthouse. The girls were located by Bellevue officers after being reported missing by an Oregon sheriff’s office. They were medically evaluated and returned to their families in Oregon.
