BALTIMORE (AP) - A federal judge in Baltimore has sentenced a Delaware man to 12 years in prison for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a child.
Twenty-nine-year old Harry Rivers was sentenced Friday.
Authorities say Rivers conspired with 39-year-old Steven Williams and 24-year-old Jessica Schaefer to traffic a 15-year-old girl to engage in commercial sex acts with men in Delaware and Elkton, Maryland, where she was held against her will in a prostitute’s hotel room.

They say Rivers provided drugs to the females and their customers and helped arrange trysts.
Williams, formerly of Delaware, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a child by force, fraud, and coercion. Schaefer pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a child. Both face maximum terms of life in prison when sentenced later this year.
