Baltimore Man Pleads Guilty to Sex Trafficking Minor

A Baltimore man has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking a 14-year-old girl, officials announced today.

Eric Evans, age 35, of Baltimore, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking involving a 14-year-old girl.

The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; and Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger.

According to the guilty pleas, on the evening of June 17, 2013, Maryland Child Exploitation Task Force members recovered a 14-year-old girl from a motel on Joppa Road in Baltimore. The victim was located after law enforcement viewed a picture of her on a known Internet web site that advertises for prostitution, and called the number on the advertisement. Undercover officers made a “date” for prostitution with the victim, which led them to her location.

The victim was prostituted by Eric Evans at his direction. Evans posted sex ads for the victim on a website using photos he had taken of the victim. The victim also stated that Evans kept the money she earned from prostitution.

Evans faces a sentence of between 120 and 140 months in prison. U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett has scheduled sentencing for Evans on September 9, 2014 at 3:00 p.m.

This case was investigated by the FBI-led Maryland Child Exploitation Task Force (MCETF), created in 2010 to combat child prostitution, with members from 10 state and federal law enforcement agencies.
