An indicted child sex trafficker has gotten the longest sentence for human trafficking in U.S. history.
Fox News reports that 31-year-old Brock Franklin was condemned to 472 years in jail for running a prostitution ring in Colorado that went after young ladies.
Back in March, a jury discovered Franklin blameworthy on 30 tallies including human trafficking, sexual abuse of a child, children prostitution, and kidnapping.
"A 400 year sentence sends a solid message the nation over that we're not going to endure this sort of viciousness to ladies and powerless populaces," Janet Drake with the Colorado Attorney General's office told Fox 31.
Prosecutors said Franklin utilized medications and savagery to control young ladies, constraining them to engage in sexual relations with him and offering the young ladies for sex on the web.
"I can't start to try and disclose what he did to my life," Brehannah Leary, one of Franklin's casualties, told the court.
Franklin's barrier legal counselors had requested the base sentence of 96 years in the slammer, while prosecutors and his casualties pushed for additional.
"He merits each and every moment in those dividers," Leary told FOX 31.

-Violating the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act -Human trafficking of a minor -Pimping a child -Patronizing a prostituted child -Soliciting for child prostitution
