O.C. Kidnap, Pimp Suspect in Oregon Jail
A man charged with kidnapping a 15-year-old Seattle girl, taking her to Anaheim and forcing her into prostitution was arrested Friday in Oregon, according to the FBI.
William Earl “Eflav” Flavors, 26, was taken into custody without incident by Hubbard, Ore., police officers and FBI agents from Portland, said James DeSarno, assistant director in charge of the FBI office in Los Angeles.
Flavors was named in an arrest warrant issued in Santa Ana after a federal grand jury indicted him July 29 on allegations that he abducted the Washington teen, brought her to Orange County in March and forced her to become a prostitute.
Garden Grove police arrested the girl March 26, then took her to a shelter.
