SAN DIEGO, CA — A man who had a 15-year-old girl work for him as a prostitute in the San Diego area was sentenced Monday to 14 years in prison.
Prosecutors said that after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children discovered an advertisement posted online promoting sex acts with the girl, law enforcement was informed and arranged a fake commercial sex date with the girl the following day.
Investigators later discovered K'John Henry Sands II, 26, of Los Angeles, had been instructing the girl on how to work for him as a prostitute and had her engage in "numerous commercial sex dates with adult men," according to a prosecutor's sentencing memorandum.
Sands later pleaded guilty to attempted coercion and enticement of a minor and in his plea agreement, admitted to recording a video of himself and the girl engaging in sex acts.
