Amber Ginter, 36, was sentenced to three years in prison for interstate sex trafficking involving a minor, according to a recent sentencing in the Northern District of Ohio.
The crime occurred in December 2009 when Ginter transported a minor from Ohio to Michigan with the intention that the minor engage in commercial sexual activity, according to court documents.
This is a stark reminder that human trafficking exists in our district and in our collective backyard, said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
The FBI and the Northwest Ohio Violent Crimes Against Children Task Force were instrumental in bringing Ginter to justice, said Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Cleveland Office.
The task force is made up of members from the FBI, Toledo Police Department, Perrysburg Township Police Department, Lima Police Department, Oregon Police Department, Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Ginter was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James V. Moroney, who worked closely with the task force to build a case against the defendant.
The Northern District of Ohio is committed to fighting human trafficking and protecting the rights of our most vulnerable citizens, said Dettelbach.
Ginter’s sentence serves as a reminder that those who engage in human trafficking will be held accountable for their crimes.
