PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A Pierre woman accused of human trafficking, promoting prostitution and pimping has pleaded not guilty.

Authorities allege 40-year-old Sheilata Gordon prostituted an 18-year-old woman in July.

The Capital Journal reports that Gordon has a previous felony drug conviction in Iowa, meaning that if she’s convicted of all charges in the South Dakota sex crime case she could face up to 65 years in prison.
