In a cheap Tucker hotel, near the Northlake area, DeKalb County police believe two women were held against their will and forced into sex with men.
The women were found last Wednesday when officers were summoned to America's Best Value Inn by one of their mothers, according to a report released Monday.
One of the alleged victims told police she was OK. Her body language told a different story.
She seemed timid, the report said, and the suspect, Milton Leroy Henry, 28, appeared angry.
The scene quickly devolved.
Henry yelled at one woman demanding to know if she was going to leave with police, the report said. She bolted from the hotel off Lawrenceville Highway for the Waffle House across the street.

"While on the ground crying, she advised officers that she was scared for her life," an officer wrote.
She said Henry made them have sex with men for money. He'd hold his black .380-caliber handgun to their heads and beat them if they mentioned leaving, the woman said.
Warrants issued for Henry's arrest say he threatened to shoot up their families' homes if they left him.
One of the women said she'd been with Henry three or four weeks. It wasn't clear how long the other woman had been.
The women did leave the hotel with police. Charged with human trafficking and other counts, Henry went to the county jail and remained held without bond Monday.
