Police have discovered a prostitution ring near Disneyland.

Andres Parra Terrones (28) and Irina Martinez (27) have been arrested and charged under suspicion of leading the Motel 6 "business."

Located at 100 W. Disney Way, the ring was full of women coerced into selling their bodies for sex while Andres and Irina allegedly collected all of the money.

Some actors refuse to come out of their trailers. These actors are hopping out of an airplane!

Help the stars of Pretty Little Liars, Eureka, Californication, Breakout Kings, and more as they combat child sex trafficking.

At 18 for 18: Project Rescue, actors such as Shay Mitchell, Colin Ferguson, and Eva Amurri are raising money by dropping out of the sky!

Kind of like a fun run, only vertical!

The project's letter says it best. It says:

"Last year 18for18 had a simple goal; raise $18,000 by skydiving 18,000ft to help the fight against sex trafficking. This year we are jumping for much more.

We are trying to raise $50,000 to fund The Somaly Mam Foundations PROJECT RESCUE. This can cover an entire year of costs for the foundations rescue missions in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos, where children as young as 3 are being sold for as little as 50US dollars and forced to service up to 25 clients a day.

These women and children have no real support system on the outside, making escape or rescue almost impossible. This is where we join the fight."

Most are failing in their ability to protect children being trafficked for sex, according to a report released Thursday.

Only four states — Texas, Illinois, Washington, and Missouri — got Bs, and 26 stats got Fs!! 26!! Guys, that's not right.

Watch (above) to see how your state fairs.
