A Minnesota high school cheerleader was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and promoting prostitution, both felonies, for exploiting a 16-year-old teammate, the Star-Tribune reported.

Montia Marie Parker, 18, of Maple Gove, will appear in court on June 12 after being accused of setting up a Backpage.com ad for her teammate. She allegedly drove the 16-year-old girl to a man's apartment where she had sex with him, after which Parker kept the $60 the man paid.

Minneapolis Lt. Kim Lund said police have been investigating high schools throughout the state because other instances of high school girls offering sexual services on the website have been reported.

"We're seeing a lot of Backpage-related stuff," said Lund, president of the Minnesota Juvenile Officers' Association. "It's probably more prevalent than we want to admit."

According to the criminal complaint filed against Parker, the victim said she mentioned she was trying to make some extra money and Parker later sent her a message on Facebook saying she do so by having sex.

Parker asked the victim for photos to post on the Backpage.com ad, which listed her phone number. Parker deposited the $60 from the first instance into her bank account. The next day, Parker pretended to be the victim's mother and called her out of school to take her to another home.

When the victim refused, Parker allegedly told her, "You'll be fine -- I didn't drive up here for nothing, and eventually you will need to have sex."

The victim's mother told authorities that her daughter has been working with the school's social worker because she has a developmental cognitive delay. The mother also said she saw text messages on her daughter's phone, noticed a change in behavior and was alerted to an unexcused absence from school.

Parker, a senior, was released on $50,000 bond and was dismissed from the school, whose last day of the year is Thursday.

"In responding to this incident, we followed our discipline and safety policy, which includes permanently removing a student from campus," Hopkins High School' district said in a statement.
