COLORADO SPRINGS – 26-year-old Emmanuel Eldridge of Colorado Springs is facing a number of charges tied to suspected human trafficking. He was pulled over Monday and taken into custody near palmer Park Blvd. and Powers.
Investigators have been working on the case against Eldridge for about two-months now. He faces charges including Human Trafficking of a Minor for sexual servitude, pimping of a child, and pimping. Back in July, detectives learned of a 16-year-old girl who had possibly been trafficked. After they spoke with the teen, they were led to another victim who happened to be an adult.
