NORTHAMPTON COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— Two people face human trafficking charges after a prostitution sting in Northampton County.
Investigators arrested 51-year-old Robert Birch and 50-year-old Cittdata Jarnigan of Bethlehem.

Jarnigan is said to have served as a "Madame", advertising women online and arranging their medical care.
The FBI and state police helped detectives break the case open in a joint operation that started in January.
