Suffolk County police arrested 32-year-old Abiodum Adeleke at a Holiday Inn in Plainview on Friday. They say a three-month investigation revealed that Adeleke used violence and threats to force women into prostitution. They say he also gave the women drugs.

Adeleke, of Deer Park, was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Adeleke was scheduled for arraignment on the charges Saturday. It’s not known if he has an attorney who can speak for him.
