FBI agents rescued 16 juveniles who were forced into prostitution for the Super Bowl in the New York City area, the Associated Press reports.
The children, who ranged in age from 13 to 17, were found in Newark, New York City and New Haven.
At least one of the victims had spent two years with her pimp, the AP wrote.
Agents also rescued more than 50 adult women who also were forced into prostitution.
Big events like the Super Bowl are lucrative for people involved in the sex trade, the AP reported.
