GOP donor Anton Lazzaro described as 'Minnesota's Jeffrey Epstein' is sentenced to 21 years for sex trafficking girls as young as 15 - as victim's mother tells him: 'I hope you rot in hell'
Lazzaro, 31 was described by prosecutors as 'Minneapolis's Jeffrey Epstein ' as he was accused of preying on 'broken' young girls
He was found guilty in March by a federal jury of seven counts involving 'commercial sex acts' with five girls ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when he was 30
A judge said Lazzaro showed sympathy to only two people during the trial - 'to himself and Epstein'
A formerly well-connected GOP donor described by prosecutors as 'Minneapolis's Jeffrey Epstein' was sentenced Wednesday to 21 years in prison on sex trafficking charges.
Anton 'Tony' Lazzaro, 31 was convicted of preying on 'broken' young girls, plying them with Everclear liquor and paying tens of thousands of dollars after having sex with them.
Lazzaro - who once tweeted a video of Joe Biden saying 'parents need to keep their kids away from Creepy Joe' - was found guilty in March by a federal jury of seven counts of 'commercial sex acts' with five girls ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when Lazzaro was 30.
On social media he would frequently boast about his flashy lifestyle by posting photos of himself with planes, sports cars and bottles of champagne.
One 15-year-old said she was picked up from a slumber party with two friends while another was paid to have group sex with Lazzaro and her older sister.
He was also accused of recruiting Gisela Castro Medina, 21, who eventually testified against him.
Lazzaro paid Medina more than $54,000, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
Prosecutors said the money was payment for her obtaining underage girls for his pleasure as well as for her silence.
Lazzaro told the court he gave Medina the sums out of generosity. He plans to appeal the decision, a spokesman told Associated Press.
Some of the victims said they were introduced to Lazzaro on social media through Medina or a male acquaintance of his.
Medina pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing in August.
The court heart he would take the girls to his condo and give them Everclear - the strongest liquor available.
