(AP) - State authorities say a New Jersey couple forced a 17-year-old girl to take drugs and work as a prostitute for 10 days.

The Attorney General's office says 19-year-old Christopher White and 28-year-old Adria Regn face numerous charges, including human trafficking of a minor, in an indictment handed up Monday. It was made public Tuesday.

Authorities say the pair lured the teen to a motel room last October 2016, asking her to babysit Regn's two young children. But they instead allegedly gave her methamphetamine, forced her to have sex with several men each day and threatened to beat her if she ran off.

Authorities say the girl eventually escaped after the two fell asleep.

White and Regn are being represented by public defenders, who as policy decline comment on pending matters.
