A St. Louis County man has been sentenced to 125 months in prison for sex trafficking a runaway teenager.
Rodarius Servick, 51, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Cristian M. Stevens on Thursday for convincing a 17-year-old runaway to work as a prostitute.
Servick met the victim in August of 2024 on a social media application and brought her from Illinois to Missouri, where he arranged commercial sex acts by managing online ads, setting the price for sex acts and collecting all the money.
Law enforcement learned of the victim’s situation on Sept. 13, 2024, and conducted an undercover operation that recovered the girl days later.
The FBI, the St. Louis County Police Department, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Dianna Edwards prosecuting the case.
Servick will be on supervised release for 15 years after his release from prison, as part of his sentence.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
