Latest Backpage Conviction Sets Landmark Precedent
We first reported to you last week about a 32 year federal prison conviction for the man who trafficked 16-year-old Desiree Robinson of Chicago. The girl was subsequently murdered by a man she had been sold to on Backpage. While the actual murder awaits trial for the part he played in destroying the innocent girl’s life, we now receive news of another important sentence connected with this tragedy — one that may yet have implications well beyond this single case.
