Convicted Colorado Sex Trafficker Sentenced To 472 Years

COLORADO -- A 31-year-old man reportedly received the longest human trafficking sentence in U.S. history, a whopping 472 years. Brock Franklin, who was found guilty of running a child prostitution ring, was sentenced this week in Arapahoe County.

KDVR reported that Franklin ran a prostitution ring that recruited girls and women. He was found on 30 counts of child prostitution, sexual assault and kidnapping earlier this year.

"Three girls and five women cooperated with prosecutors during the case, which was brought under Colorado’s Organized Crime Control Act," the news station reported. Franklin forced them to have sex with him, then he'd sell their services online. The crimes happened at hotels across the metro area."

A victim told the courtroom during a sentence that "“He took so much from me, and I’m still fighting to get it back. You have no idea the damage he has caused to the other women and myself," according to ABC 7 in Denver.
