Colorado human-trafficking case nets 8-year jail term:

I originally posted about Dallas Colby Cardenas of the Denver area here. Back in 2010, he was indicted for prostituting a 17-year-old girl on craigslist. He also had sex with her in order to groom her for the ‘profession.’ This week he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for trafficking a child. That sentence is a joke.

Pimps should be given automatic life sentences. More often than not they’re also guilty of rape, violent assaults, and false imprisonment. For the 19-year-old Cardenas, this will be a walk in the park until he’s out of jail.

Not to mention that while it’s not as prolific as it once was, trafficking and prostitution are still happening on craigslist mostly in casual encounters, but as usual, craigslist chooses to do nothing about it.
