A pimp was sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison for forcing a teenager into prostitution and victimizing a 13-year-old, according to FOX26.
Clifford Milton, 27, was found guilty of child trafficking by a jury on Wednesday, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. The trial lasted a week, and Milton chose to have his sentence decided by a judge, which he received on Tuesday.
Milton allegedly forced a 15-year-old girl to have sex with random people for money and victimized a 13-year-old girl, according to reports. According to the DA’s office, he was sentenced to 28 years in prison for his crimes.
“This is a pimp who profited from selling a child to strangers for sex, and we hope he serves every day of his sentence,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a press release. “A person who can do something like that needs to be kept off our streets and away from our children.”
“This defendant, even after being convicted by a jury, refused to take responsibility for trafficking a juvenile,” Assistant District Attorney Sara Siegel, who prosecuted the case, added. “He’ll have plenty of time in prison to think about what he did and hopefully take responsibility.”
