The task force is unsure of his whereabouts.
Price supposedly advertised the two girls, ages 15 and 17, for sex online and proceeded to traffic the victims out of hotels in 2016 between Oct. 22 and Dec. 6.
The task force has rescued both victims.
A co-defendant, 19-year-old Teah Williams, of Columbus, was arrested in May on similar charges. She is being detained in the Franklin County Jail without bond, according to Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office.

"Our main concern is that other children could be victimized by this suspected human trafficker until he is in custody," DeWine said in a prepared statement.
"We urge anyone with information on Micaiah Price's whereabouts to immediately contact law enforcement."
