Seven people running sex trafficking operations out of Indianapolis have been convicted in two separate federal cases.
“Sex trafficking, particularly of children, has no place in this country. Our children should be able to grow up without being offered for sale by adults who seek to profit from their vulnerability.” - Josh Minkler, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana
33-year-old James Young led a child and adult trafficking ring out of an east-side motel from 2013 to 2015, according to the news release. He was sentenced to 26 years in prison, a lifetime of supervised release and a restitution payment of $450,000 toward five survivors of his trafficking.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI put together their case for Young based on the story of a child he had trafficked, social media, online sex trafficking advertisements, police reports and motel records, according to the news release.
