FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.— A Fayetteville man has been arrested for trafficking minors for sex.

According to court documents, beginning in May of 2020 through October of 2020 Lexus Hobbs, 23, knowingly recruited, enticed, solicited, isolated, harbored, transported, provided, maintained and obtained multiple minors for commercial sexual activity.
