A Milwaukee man is facing 25 years in federal prison for violently sex trafficking two teenagers in the Chicago area and in Wisconsin.
That sentence was handed down for 28-year-old David Smith, who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, between 2019 and 2020, Smith took sexually explicit photographs of the victims and posted them on commercial sex advertisement websites. He would then arrange for the victims to meet customers in hotel rooms.
Prosecutors say on at least one occasion, Smith hit a 17-year-old girl in the face when she accepted fake money from a customer and hit a 16-year-old girl in the face after he learned she contacted her mother.
