GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Two men and a woman are charged with arranging for a 17-year-old girl to have sex with older men.
The human trafficking charges against 29-year-old Travis Johnson, 27-year-old Joshua Harry and 22-year-old Amanda Stewart carry a maximum penalty of life in prison. They were filed in state district court in Grand Forks.
They're accused of pimping a 17-year-old girl to older men for sex from November 2010 to April 2011. Prosecutors say they advertised an “escort service” on a website.
The Grand Forks Herald reports that Johnson also faces a felony charge of corruption of a minor. Prosecutors say he had sex with the girl before he started pimping her, and that he knew she was 17 when he did it.
