BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Bond has been set at $50,000 cash for a man accused of human trafficking in the Bismarck-Mandan area.

Forty-year-old Abdul Fazl Vann is accused of operating as a pimp. He faces a felony charge that carries a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison.

The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1FqgUML ) that Vann maintained his innocence during Wednesday’s bond hearing.

Vann is listed as one of the state’s witnesses intended to be called in another human trafficking case involving Las Vegas man. That trial is scheduled to start on Sept. 1.
