Two arrested for prostituting mentally challenged woman at Jacksonville hotel

Tamia Oliver Demontre Clark

Jacksonville, FL — The nightmare is finally over for a mentally challenged woman and her family.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office rescues her from a hotel room on Blanding Boulevard, the same one where a man and woman allegedly forced her to have sex with people responding to an online ad.

20-year-old Tamia Oliver and 25-year-old Demontre Clark have been charged with human trafficking and living off the proceeds of a prostitute, both of which are felonies.

Clark's also been charged with felony abuse of a disabled adult after the woman claimed he gave her a black eye and would beat her up sometimes for no reason, causing bruises on her body.

According to the arrest report, that woman had been missing since February 9th after she failed to show at a special needs class.

JSO says Clark and Oliver teamed up to advertise the woman for sex and directed anyone who responded to a hotel on Blanding Boulevard.

The report also shows detectives were tipped by the woman's mother after another family member found the ad online and that the victim was given marijuana and Xanax during her ordeal.

Following this morning’s court hearing, Oliver was given a bond of over $150,000, while Clark’s bond is at over $350,000. Both are due back in court April 12th.
