The unidentified 23-year-old was allegedly grabbed in Manhattan by Jean Joseph and Tara L. Pinnock, who took her on a nightmare road trip across the United States.
The victim was knocked almost unconscious by Joseph as she stood on a Manhattan street near the busy midtown Port Authority Bus Station, police said.
He dragged her into his car and then drove out of state stopping at Chicago, Grand Junction, Colorado, Denver and finally Salt Lake City.
At each stop, she was forced into prostitution and Joseph twice sexually assaulted her in Chicago, according to police.
Pinnock placed prostitution ads for the victim and arranged the sex between clients and the victim over the phone, police said.
