CLEVELAND -- Four people convicted of leading a 13-year-old girl into prostitution were in court Monday to face their sentence, reported NewsChannel5's Joe Pagonakis.
The young victim, who is now 15, explained how her life went terribly wrong.
She was just 13 years old when Anthony Freeman (pictured, right) promoted her as a prostitute. Freeman was sentenced to four years in prison on four counts of promoting prostitution.
Katlin Sender was convicted of being the girl's chauffeur, and was sentenced to two years probation.
Police said Sender would drive the juvenile to locations like Cleveland's downtown Holiday Inn.
The 13-year-old was paid $180 for a half hour by men like Cecil King, who tried to fight back tears as he was given three years probation for compelling prostitution.
The teenager cried when she learned that King would not get jail time.
Police said King found the ad for the escort service in Scene Magazine.
The young girl had advice for other girls: "Please do not do what I did because it's a frightening thing to do they could rape you, they could do anything to you."
The 15-year-old is receiving counseling. She said she turned to a life of prostitution because she didn't have a father figure while growing up.
Her father spent seven years in jail, and when she had a falling out with her mother she says she had nowhere else to turn.
There is a fourth person in this case, Michelle Langer, who will be sentenced next month.
don't talk to me anymore. I couldn't possibly respect anything you have to say about anything.
you, either. but then you're too busy doing your "homework" by looking up pervy images and keeping the word safe from slutty teenagers. both hand on the keyboard?
Pretty good response, huh? I bet I convinced YOU that you are stupid. (Everybody else already knew)
You are blessed by your thoughtful nature and your enemies' lack of intellect. When they're reduced to calling you stupid, you've won the argument. Congratulations.
I am finished with them.
love the tagline, by the way!
I also liked your both hands on the keyboard quote. There is definitely an obsession there. Some were just people having fun, but I guess that is evil! (I kind of liked the Mardi Gras pics! There weren't any kids there.)
I think he or she thinks that evil like the above article cannot touch their family because they are special.
Girls gone wild...no, actually it's just a couple of drunk young'ns!
Do you have daughters?
Did you want to make a point? You don't read the thread, do you?
I have 3 daughters, two sons. They range in age from 34 to 15. My oldest is a cop. #2 son is a teacher..What difference does it make? As a student of behavior, and counseling, I can make a distinction and an assessment on the available information. I did not judge the girl, nor intimated that I thought she should have been used like this.
I do not like the thought of this girl on the streets, any more than most of us here. BUT, I don't know why she was there, really. Is she to blame? Probably not. Is she innocent? Probably not! Is this an isolated circumstance...? Probably not!
At least she isn't being stoned! Why don't you put yours down!
I just asked you a question. You don't have to get hostile and accuse me of being a drug addict. You're a real mental infant. Have a nice evening.
On August 10, 1994, in the city of Arak, a woman was sentenced to death by stoning. According to the ruling of the religious judge, her husband and two children were forced to attend the execution. The woman urged her husband to take the children away, but to no avail. A truck full of stones was brought in to be used during the stoning. In the middle of the stoning, although her eyes had been gouged out, the victim was able to escape from the ditch and started running away, but the regime's guards recaptured her and shot her to death.
In October 1989 in the city of Qom, a woman who was being stoned managed to pull herself out of the hole, only to be forced back into it and stoned to death. In justifying the murder, Qom's Chief Religious Judge, Mullah Karimi, elaborated to Ressalat newspaper on October 30, 1989: "Generally speaking, legal and religious decrees on someone condemned to stoning call for her stoning if her guilt was proven on the basis of witnesses' testimonies. Even if she were to escape in the middle of the administration of the sentence, she must be returned and stoned to death."

Special Representative on the human rights situation in Iran reported to the U.N. General Assembly in 1993: "On November 1, 1992, a woman named Fatima Bani was stoned to death in Isfahan."

It must be noted that the cases of stoning in small towns and cities were not included here.
The brutality is not limited to stoning. For example, in late May 1990, in the city of Neyshabour (northeastern Iran), a woman charged with adultery was thrown off a 10-story building. The execution was carried out in public, and the victim died on impact. The regime's duplicity when it comes to publicizing the news of such Byzantine atrocities, is very telling. Inside Iran, they are trumpeted with great fanfare, but when it comes to the international arena, officials brazenly deny their methods. In an interview with Le Figaro on September 10, 1994, Rafsanjani was asked, "Are women accused of adultery stoned in Iran?" He replied: "No, no such thing exists in Iran. This has been fabricated to damage us."
What's does this have to do with anything? I asked you a question, and you went nuts. Forget I asked! Sheesh.
You asked a question. You had a reason to ask about my daughters... but did not ask the real question. I didn't go nuts, you just accused me of it. That is quite different!
Why did you ask about whether I had daughters?
Nevermind. I reread your posts in this thread and found out all I needed to know. Bye.
Pray for the girl. She really had a hard life.
