John F. Wood, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that the owner of an Olathe, Kan., massage parlor pleaded guilty in federal court today to inducing persons to travel across state lines and national borders to engage in prostitution and illegal sexual services.
United States Attorney David E. Nahmias said of the sentencings, “Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that robs individuals of their freedom. The chains of confinement are often psychological and hidden. These convictions and sentences show that those assisting human traffickers–whether in finding victims, transporting victims against their will, ensuring that the victims are not free to leave, or trying to protect and hide the crimes–also may face prosecution and prison time.”
