ATLANTA (AP) – A federal judge sentenced a man to 40 years in prison after he was convicted of luring impoverished young Mexican women to the Atlanta area and then forcing them to work as prostitutes.
U.S. District Judge Richard W. Story sentenced Amador Cortes-Meza to the prison term on Thursday.
A federal jury had convicted him of sex trafficking of minors, conspiracy and smuggling charges for bringing them to Georgia.
Prosecutors say Cortes-Meza and several of his relatives targeted uneducated women and then paid smugglers to bring them across the border illegally. The women said they were forced to work as prostitutes to repay transportation costs and living expenses.
U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said the defendant forced the young girls into more than 20 acts of prostitution a night in Atlanta.
