Colorado Judge Hands Down Longest Sentence EVER For Human Trafficking

A Colorado judge just handed down the longest sentence ever received for human trafficking.

472 years. That sends a CLEAR message.

Brock Franklin was found guilty on 30 counts, including human trafficking of a minor, human trafficking of an adult and soliciting of child prostitution.

According to this:

Brock Franklin, 31, was the leader of a human trafficking ring that reportedly recruited its victims, several women and girls, on Facebook.

The gang then drugged them and sold them online for sex that took place in hotels.

His sentence is being described as the longest in U.S. history for a case of human trafficking.

Franklin used violence and narcotics to control his victims and set rules they had to follow, including daily earning quotas.

He would then take all of the money earned to support himself and further his criminal business.

One juvenile victim, known as D.Y., told authorities that Franklin recruited her between April and July 2015 after persuading her to leave her parents’ home.

The victim said that during this time Franklin supplied her with ecstasy and repeatedly punched her in the face, causing serious bodily harm to her right eye and her ears.

Another juvenile victim, known as C.W., who was recruited by Franklin’s ring for around five weeks between January and February 2015, said the leader required her to perform oral sex acts on him in front of other gang members.

Both victims said they were encouraged to advertise themselves for sexual services on classified ad website Backpage.com.

One adult victim said that Franklin used the GPS on her cell phone to monitor her location and, on more than one occasion, choked, pistol whipped and forced her to have sex against her will.

I hope this monster gets exactly what’s coming to him.

I hear people who sexually abuse children don’t do well in prison, and this dude takes it to the next level…
