Heroic Move: Uber Driver Saves Teen From Sex Trafficking!

Elk Grove police are crediting Uber driver Keith Avila for helping rescue a girl out of sex trafficking -- a girl he gave a ride to in his car, along with her two suspected female pimps on Monday night.

"They started like talking, like saying everything that was going on. Like what they're doing, child sex trafficking," Avila said.

Avila says he had just picked up the two women and a 16-year-old girl from Sacramento and brought them to the Holiday Inn in Elk Grove, where the two women allegedly pimped the girl out to a man for sex.

Minutes after dropping them off at the hotel, he called police for help.

"Police arrived fast. They don't play. They do not play. Not when you're doing child sex trafficking," he said.

Police arrested the two women, Destiny Pettway and Maria Westly, for various charges relating to pimping and pandering.

The suspected John, identified as Disney Vang, was arrested for alleged sex with a minor.

"I can't just drive away. I'm mean, of course not. That's not even an option," Avila said.

When asked why he decided to get involved, Avila said: "Honestly, I didn't think about it... They said what they said, and it's one of those things that you just do."

Avila says it was the conversation between the adult women and the girl who tipped him off to the alleged crime that was about to go down.
