LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A third person has been arrested and charged in connection to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

According to an arrest report, 26-year-old Quentin Burris is charged with two counts of human trafficking. The report says two 16-year-olds were trafficked earlier this year.

Police say Burris knew the two juveniles and they were posted on Backpage.com, the online ad service that was shut down earlier this month.

Burris also said he "knew the minors were being sold, received money from the sexual acts and agreed to receive a percentage of all money raised from the sex acts.

In February, 22-year-old Abigail Varney and 51-year-old Nigel Nicholas were arrested in connection with the same case.
