Man Accused Girlfriend of Pimping, Gets 24 Years for Sex Trafficking

October 26, 2017

According to the Miami Herald: Leon Roberts, a Fort Lauderdale resident, found out his girlfriend had advertised herself on backpage.com’s escort section. She also wanted her 14-year-old friend to work with her as an escort duo. Roberts was understandably upset as he had been pimping the same 14-year-old girl for two months. Roberts called the Fort Lauderdale police to report his girlfriend as a pimp. This prompted the officers to look into Roberts as well, finding that he had been pimping the young girl instead. This is why Roberts received a 24-year and 4-month stay at a federal prison on charges of human trafficking.
