(FORT WORTH, TX) – Local Police and federal agents have busted a sex trafficking ring, operating out of three homes, including one in north Fort Worth.

11 women and two infants were rescued from the home on Yellow Wood Drive.  Investigators say a tip led to the possible prostitution and human trafficking taking place at the house.  The ring leader, 39 year old Tremont Blakemore and two others were arrested on charges of aggravated promotion of prostitution and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Authorities say the women will receive counseling.  The 2 and 9 month old babies have been placed in foster care.  Police are looking for a fourth suspect in connection with the human trafficking ring.
