Monica Jackson, 38, was charged with human trafficking, pimping a minor, and pandering, as part of a five-count felony complaint. She pleaded not guilty on Friday and has been released from jail while the case is pending, court records show.<\/p>\n

Police say that on June 4, a 17-year-old girl called police from a section of 16th Avenue in Oakland that is known for prostitution, and reported that she was being trafficked and needed help. Investigators identified her and a 15-year-old girl as victims of the same pimp. While they were interviewing both girls, Jackson allegedly showed up and spoke with police.<\/p>\n
