Riverside County Sex-Trafficking: 3 Teens Rescued, 2 Men Arrested

HEMET, CA -- Two men were arrested last week in Hemet after police found two teenage girls performing a sexual act on a man in a parked car. Hemet officers reportedly checked a parked car around 4:45 p.m. last Thursday at the intersection of Gilmore Street and Acacia Avenue, police said.

Two teenagers, one identified as an 18-year-old and the other as a 15-year-old, were seen giving the driver, Luis Chavez-Avila, 30 a sexual act. The juvenile was a recently reported runaway, police said.

Within an hour, police identified Marvonte Dolberry, 22, as the suspected pimp who offered the teenagers' services. Dolberry was located at a nearby motel in the 800 block of West Florida Avenue.

Police said officers found Dolberry at the hotel with another man and another 15-year-old girl, believed to also be a victim of sex-trafficking.

The victims were taken into custody and released to their parents, police said.

Dolberry was arrested and booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning for human trafficking, human trafficking of a minor, pimping, pandering, oral copulation with a minor and unlawful sexual intercourse. Dolberry remains in custody with bail set at $85,000.

Avila was arrested and released with his signed promise to appear for charges of loitering for prostitution. The investigation into the additional male that was detained in the accompaniment of Dolberry is ongoing.

Anyone with additional information regarding this case is encouraged to contact Deputy Sheriff Daniel Engels at (951) 955-1700 or via email at dengels@riversidesheriff.org.
