Man pleads guilty to sex trafficking of girl

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore man has pleaded guilty to the sex trafficking of a 14-year-old girl.

Thirty-five-year-old Eric Evans entered the plea Monday in federal court in Baltimore. If the Court accepts his plea, he will be sentenced to between 10 and 11 years prison on Sept. 9.

According to his plea, law enforcers encountered the girl at a motel in Baltimore. Authorities saw her picture on a website that advertises prostitution.

Police say the girl told them that Evans posted photos of her on websites and that she engaged in prostitution at Evans’ direction.
