ATLANTA--Jessica Loren Posey was sentenced today to seven years
in federal prison for transporting a 16-year-old juvenile girl to Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Ohio for the purpose of prostitution, according to federal
authorities.
In 2010, court
evidence indicated that Posey met the
juvenile girl at a party. While the victim was only 16 years old, Posey caused
her to engage in prostitution.
Posey, 25, of Atlanta,
used a laptop computer to create advertisements of the child that she placed on
websites. This included uploaded nude photographs of the juvenile on her cell
phone and on a website.
Posey arranged for
customers to engage in sex acts with the victim; and rented the hotel rooms
where she caused the girl to engage in prostitution, federal officials stated.
She also drove the
juvenile and other young women to various locations outside Georgia to commit
commercial sex acts, including Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tennessee; Ohio; and
Kentucky. Posey received half the proceeds earned by the juvenile victim and
the other young women.
Following Posey's arrest,
the victim returned to live with her family.
