DALLAS (AP) — A 33-year-old Dallas man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for sex trafficking of a minor.
Dereck Johnson pleaded guilty to one count of sex trafficking of children in June. He was accused of forcing a 15-year-old runaway he met at a bus station to engage in sex acts for money. The victim, who is now 18, said Johnson forced her to engage in several commercial sex acts at a Houston truck stop.
Johnson will also spend the rest of his life on supervised release following his 15-year sentence.
