Dallas Man Sentenced to 216 Months for Sex Trafficking Teen

Dallas, TX – A Dallas man has been sentenced to 216 months in federal prison for sex trafficking a 16-year-old girl, announced U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas.

Edric Norvell Robinson, Sr., 46, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade to 216 months in federal prison, following his guilty plea in April 2016 to one count of sex trafficking of children.

According to documents filed in his case, from approximately April 7, 2014, through August 19, 2014, Robinson knowingly recruited, enticed, harbored and transported a 16-year-old minor female, whom he caused to engage in a commercial sex act.

In addition to his prison sentence, Judge Kinkeade ordered that Robinson must serve a 15-year term of supervised release after serving his custody sentence. He must also register as a lifetime sex offender.

The case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), both members of the North Texas Anti-Trafficking Taskforce (NTATT).

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Cara Foos Pierce was in charge of the prosecution.
