Woman Wanted By FBI, Accused of Sex Trafficking Teenage Girls

F.B.I. investigators are asking for help finding a St. Petersburg woman who has a federal warrant out for her arrest.

Investigators say Keosha Renee Jones, 21, engaged in the commercial sex trafficking of two 14-year-old girls. An arrest warrant says Jones placed ads on backpage.com and had the girls meet customers at a St. Petersburg motel.

"One of the victims reported fearing that Jones would kill them if they did not make money," said the arrest affidavit.

The F.B.I. says Jones is aware of the warrant and may have left the area. They think she might be in the Miami area. Jones also has ties to Port St. Lucie.

The F.B.I. released the following description of Jones-

• African American
• Female
• Brown Eyes 
• Brown Hair 
• 5-foot-10 
• 120 pounds 
• Several tattoos on her legs and thighs, including one tattoo of a flower
