Craig Coins, Jr., Sex Trafficking of a Minor, Williamsport PA, 2023
Williamsport – In a disturbing case of child exploitation, two individuals from Mississippi have been charged with sex trafficking a minor in Pennsylvania.
Craig Coins, Jr., 30, and Aubreanna Odendahl, 26, both from Mississippi, were indicted on charges involving conspiracy, sex trafficking of a minor, transportation of a minor for sexual activities, and production of child pornography.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that the minor was transported from Mississippi to Tioga County, Pennsylvania in April and the criminal conduct took place from March to May of 2023 in Tioga County and elsewhere.
The case was investigated by the Wellsboro Police Department, Mississippi Capitol Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Assistant United States Attorney Alisan V. Martin is prosecuting the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The maximum penalty under federal law is up to life in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
An indictment or criminal information is only an allegation, and all persons charged are presumed to be innocent until found guilty in court.
