BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — A Fresno man has been arrested following a months-long investigation by Bakersfield police for human trafficking.

On Wednesday, with the assistance of the Fresno Police Department Riley was arrested and booked into the Kern County jail for charges associated with human trafficking of a juvenile and pandering.

During the course of the investigation, the juvenile was reunited with her family.
