KANSAS CITY, KS—A Kansas City, Kansas
man has pleaded guilty to taking a 16-year-old girl across state lines so she
could work as a prostitute, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
Otis Warren, 26, Kansas City, Kansas,
pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of a minor for illegal sexual
activity. In his plea, Warren admitted that in November 2010, he transported a
girl identified as AR, who was 16 years old at the time, from Kansas City,
Kansas to Kansas City, Missouri, so she could work as a prostitute.
Investigators with the Prairie Village
Police Department working undercover agreed to pay $250 an hour to have sex
with the girl. Driving a blue Cadillac, Warren dropped the girl off at a house
in Prairie Village. Police followed Warren when he drove away. They stopped him
and arrested him. Investigators learned Warren kept the majority of the girl’s
money while she worked for him.
Sentencing is set for September 25. He
faces a maximum penalty of 30 years and a fine up to $250,000. Grissom
commended the Prairie Village Police Department, the FBI, and Assistant U.S.
Attorney Kim Martin for their work on the case.
