Jodia Campbell Sentenced

Jodia Campbell, 35, of Rochester, NY, has been sentenced to 60 months in prison for her role in transporting individuals across state lines with the intent that they engage in illegal sex acts.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr., Campbell was convicted of the crime and sentenced by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford. The sentence is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Adam S. Cohen.

The case against Campbell began in April 2013, when she transported an adult from New York to New Jersey for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Campbell was arrested in April 2014, along with Laree Greggs and Jennifer Miller, who have also been convicted and sentenced to 80 months and 70 months in prison, respectively.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tiffany H. Lee and Melissa M. Marangola handled the case against Campbell. The prosecution presented evidence that Campbell had knowingly transported an individual across state lines for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex acts, a crime that carries serious penalties under federal law.

The sentence handed down to Campbell reflects the seriousness of the crime and the need to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation. The investigation and prosecution of Campbell’s case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combating human trafficking and sex trafficking in all its forms.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Task Force plays a critical role in identifying and prosecuting individuals who engage in these crimes. The task force works closely with other law enforcement agencies to gather evidence and build cases against those who exploit and harm others. In this case, the task force’s efforts led to the conviction and sentencing of Jodia Campbell, a significant step forward in the fight against sex trafficking.
