PHILADELPHIA — A 27-year-old Philadelphia woman will spend two decades in prison for the sex trafficking two teenagers, according to federal authorities. First Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said Monday that Shyniquah Lightner, 27, of Philadelphia, was sentenced today to 20 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release for her role in a scheme to sex traffic minor children. In 2016 and 2017, Lightner recruited two children, ages 14 and 15, to engage in commercial sex acts at a house in Philadelphia. She advertised the children on the website Backpage.com, and she collected money from the sex buyers who came to the residence for sexual encounters with the minors. Her co-defendant, Malik Hudson, participated in the trafficking of the 15-year-old. "Lightner's crimes were devastating to her minor victims," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Williams. "Today's sentence of twenty years' incarceration reflects the seriousness of her crimes and the irrevocable damage she caused, all in pursuit of financial gain. We will continue to work collectively to investigate these destructive crimes against vulnerable children."
