Teenage girls saved from Instagram sex traffic predator by airline staff

Two teenage girls who thought they had landed dream modelling jobs in New York were saved from a sex trafficker by a vigilant airline worker. The Californian youths aged 15 and 17 narrowly avoided becoming victims of an Instagram predator thanks to American Airlines agent Denice Miracle. Miracle realised something was wrong when the girls approached her ticket counter at Sacramento Airport to check-in for a one-way first-class flight which had been paid for using a stolen credit card. She told them they would not be able to fly and then alerted the County Sheriff's Department. “Between the two of them, they had a bunch of small bags. It seemed to me as if they were running away from home,” Denice said. “They kept looking at each other in a way that seemed fearful and anxious. I had a gut feeling that something just wasn't right. The girls revealed that a man called "Drey" on Instagram had invited them to New York for the weekend to earn $2,000 by doing some modelling and performing in music videos. They had not told their parents about the trip on 31 August last year and were shocked when they were told the tickets did not cover a return flight. Deputies tried to contact "Drey" but he quickly deleted all his social media profiles. "I fully believe Denice probably prevented these girls from becoming victims," Deputy Sanderson told Fox.<br/>
