<p class="mol-para-with-font">Between May and June, the child had sex for money with hundreds of men, earning her the nickname &#8216;breadmaker&#8217; from Horenstein, according to the documents.<br />
Three days after the girl’s disappearance, a relative had received a startling text from her. She said she had had sex with &#8220;so many people.”<br />
The concerned family member alerted the authorities, eventually leading to the suspected traffickers’ arrests.<br />
Concerned for her safety, that relative turned over the runaway girl’s phone records to investigators, who discovered that the juvenile’s phone had been in constant contact with a number listed on numerous online prostitution advertisements.<br />
Among her traffickers, the business relationship between Bijou and Horenstein had soured, and the 13-year-old had gone to work as a prostitute for another madam.<br />
The new &#8216;sexploiter&#8217;, 27-year-old Souprina Blanc, allegedly went on to arrange at least a half-dozen sexual encounters with men at Airbnb rentals.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Miami-Dade Police and FBI used that number to set up a sting, setting up surveillance on June 11 around a Miami residence they suspected harbored the girl.<br />
When a girl matching the runaway’s description exited the residence, authorities apprehended her, quietly, then raided the home and found Blanc in the living room.<br />
A further search of the property turned up a naked woman in the bedroom and a naked man hiding in the shower.<br />
Bijou and Horenstein were arrested on August 15. Lewinson was apprehended on November 21, and Blanc was arrested last week. All four are being held without bond.<br />
Bijou pleaded guilty to sex trafficking on November 19.</p>
