SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- Deputy constables say a man is behind bars after allegedly forcing an underage girl into having sex with men.

The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office said Kolbe Doyle was arrested Tuesday after receiving a tip that a girl was being held against her will.

When deputy constables arrived at the home in the 23600 block of Tree House Lane, they found the girl inside a vehicle with Doyle.

Constables say the girl alleged that the man took her to Houston after meeting her on an online dating app, and forced her into prostitution.

A second suspect was also taken into custody. The constable's office said further charges are expected in the case.
