Aaron Barnes, 33, and Kamau Curnal, 28, are accused of driving a minor victim from Portland to Seattle as part of a trafficking operation.

FBI agents in Lincoln, Nebraska, arrested 33-year-old Barnes last year at a motel near an airport. The FBI increased its reward to $15,000 for information leading to Curnal's arrest and conviction.

In October 2016, a federal grand jury in Oregon charged Curnal with one count of sex trafficking of a child and one count of transportation of a minor for the purposes of prostitution.

Curnal should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information can call 206-622-0460.
