Four men, including three from Jersey City, who authorities say forced a 14-year-old girl into having sex with up top 10 men a day in and around Hudson County, have been arrested and charged human trafficking, the state Attorney General announced today.

Michael A. McLeod, 24, of Jersey City, the alleged "boss" of the prostitution ring, and his alleged assistants David Powell Jr., 28, of Jersey City, Tyree D. Jeter, 27, of Jersey City, and Demetrius James Hayward, 19, of Summerville, S.C. were charged on May 11 with conspiracy, human trafficking and promoting prostitution of a minor, acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman said.

McLeod surrendered to Jersey City police this morning, authorities said, while Powell and Jeter were arrested in Jersey City on May 11. Hayward had been in custody after a May 8 arrest, authorities said.

Authorities say McLeod used violence or threats to control the 14-year-old, who was a runaway from South Jersey, and an 18-year-old who was also forced into prostitution by the men.

"It's heartbreaking that a 14-year-old girl became trapped in a horrific life where, out of fear and isolation, she was forced to engage in sex with up to 10 men a day," Hoffman said in a statement. "This case starkly illustrates the wretched slavery endured by victims of sex trafficking. These men we have charged rightly face some of the harshest penalties available under state law."
