A Rockville man has been arrested and charged with sex trafficking, according to the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD).
Ernest Wilkerson, 32, also faces charges related to prostitution, police said in a release Thursday. He was arrested on Jan. 27 in Silver Spring, where police said he tried to pick up a victim in his red 2009 Cadillac DTS.
Detectives began investigating Wilkerson in Dec. 2021 after a victim came forward and said she was trafficked by him in October.
MCPD released photos of Wilkerson and his car. Detectives believe there may be additional victims and urge any victims to contact the Vice and Intelligence Unit at 240-773-5958.
Wilkerson is held without bond, police said.
