Uber driver, Keith Avila, 34, overheard a suspicious conversation and did the right thing in December 2016. Two women and a teenager, 16 years old girl, got into his car and wanted a ride to the Holiday Inn in Elk Grove in California. Keith was listening to their conversation and soon realized the women were telling the girl how to handle a man – a ‘John.’
Keith dropped the women off and called the police. Thankfully, the two women and the John were arrested and charged with pandering and pimping. The 16-year-old had been a runaway and was being used in the sex trafficking industry. The police credit Keith for being alert and making the call.

It would have been easy for Keith just to turn away and do nothing. You too can be a hero like Keith. Be alert, listen, call for help if you see or hear something suspicious.
