Read this story at Seattlepi.com. It details an ongoing case involving a street gang in West Seattle that forced young, underage girls into prostitution. As typically happens, these individuals used coercion and violence to control and intimidate the girls they prostituted. A companion trial resumes next week in King County Superior Court.
Note how the second defendant was sentenced, despite the fact that the prosecutor and defense attorney agreed to a stiffer sentence. Very strange. I wonder if the judge clearly understands how the children who were forced into street prostitution were treated and how long it will take them to recover from their trauma? What a shame!
