One person was arrested, and a 16-year-old was rescued as part of a Fort Worth human trafficking investigation.

Fort Worth police said its human trafficking unit recently conducted an anti-human trafficking operation with the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the FBI.

The investigators talked to more than a dozen possible victims of sex trafficking. 

That led to the recovery of a 16-year-old victim and the arrest of 19-year-old Keith Sentmore.
