Elk Grove Man Sentenced To Over 12 Years In Prison For Sex Trafficking 14-Year-old Girl
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A man was sentenced to 12 years and seven months in prison for sex trafficking a child Friday, according to the Department of Justice.
Abdul Basier Hashimi, 26, of Elk Grove, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a child on Aug. 31, 2018. According to court documents, Hashimi met the 13-year-old victim in August 2014 on social media and began communicating with her.
After the victim turned 14, Hashimi had the girl work as a prostitute in Sacramento, Oakland, and elsewhere in Northern California.
The court said Hashimi managed the victim's activities by creating an internet advertisement, renting a motel room, and driving her to areas with prostitution activity. The victim then gave Hashimi the money she earned.
