Sacramento Woman Arrested For Allegedly 'Pimping' Teen, 17, At Bay Area Motel
The investigation was part of Santa Clara County's crackdown on human trafficking during Super Bowl 50.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA - A 20-year-old woman who allegedly used a teenage girl to advertise sex for money was arrested at a Milpitas motel during an undercover operation on Wednesday, a Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman said today.
Tekera “Taco” Symone Scott, a Sacramento resident, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking of a minor and pandering, sheriff’s Sgt. James Jensen said. Detectives from the county’s human trafficking task force went undercover as part of Super Bowl human trafficking operations, Jensen said.
They set up a meeting with a female suspect who posted adult entertainment escort services on the classified ads website www.backpage.com, and were instructed to go to a Milpitas motel, according to Jensen. The detectives went to a room where they were encountered by three females and learned the female seen in the ad was a 17-year-old girl who lived outside the area, Jensen said.

The county’s Department of Family and Children’s Services was contacted once detectives determined the teen was a juvenile being sexually exploited for commercial purposes, according to Jensen.
The oldest of the three females was Scott, who was taken into custody, Jensen said. Detectives found a loaded firearm when they searched the motel room, he said. Scott was booked into Santa Clara County Jail, where she is being held on $550,000 bail, according to jail records.
