New Orleans Sex Trafficking Case: Oregon Woman Pleads Guilty
A disturbing case of sex trafficking has come to light in New Orleans, Louisiana. Cora Beuving, a 26-year-old woman from Oregon, has pleaded guilty to her role in the exploitation of a 15-year-old girl.
According to court documents, in May 2024, two adult men brought the minor victim from Houston, Texas to New Orleans for commercial sex. Beuving posted advertisements for commercial sex with the minor victim on online classified ad service websites.
Beuving faces a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment, followed by up to one year of supervised release. She also faces a fine of up to $250,000, and a $100.00 mandatory special assessment fee.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the federal government. Led by United States Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
The investigation in this case was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations and the Kenner Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Maria M. Carboni of the Financial Crimes Unit is in charge of the prosecution.
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson praised the work of the investigators, stating that their efforts will continue to be crucial in combatting sex trafficking and protecting vulnerable victims.
The case against Beuving is a stark reminder of the prevalence of sex trafficking in our society and the need for continued vigilance and action to prevent these crimes.
