PLEASE NOTE: Using a minor for commercial sex including porn is Human Trafficking. This case has the earmarks though we cannot be sure until more information is given:

A routine traffic stop Wednesday wound up putting a couple in custody on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Nashville police pulled Michael McCarrell over Wednesday on Murfreesboro Road for failing to use his turn signal, and found a 17-year-old girl sandwiched between him and his wife, Amanda McCarrell, according to their arrest warrants.

The couple told police they had met the girl on a dating website and had picked her up in Glasgow, Ky.

Michael McCarrell, 46, said he initially thought the girl was 18 and only realized she was a minor as they were en route from Kentucky to East Tennessee, according to his warrant. According to her warrant, Amanda McCarrell, 27, admitted that she planned to have sex with the girl.

Police found sexually explicit text messages and photographs of the girl on Michael McCarrell’s cell phone.

The McCarrells were both charged with sexual exploitation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
