BROOKLYN, NY - A Bushwick man who recruited three teenage girls to engage in sexual conduct for money was sentenced to eight years in prison after a multi-agency investigation uncovered his involvement in a series of trafficking offenses carried out from his Halsey Street apartment. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced that 35-year-old Terrence Rogers, also known as Aura, received eight years in prison and five years of post-release supervision following his guilty plea to sex trafficking of a child.

If O'Connor is convicted of sexual battery or molesting a minor, Webby said she would be required to register as a sex offender under California law. A conviction on all counts would also carry a potential sentence of more than 30 years. Prosecutors have identified 14 named juvenile victims, seven girls referred to as Jane Does, and seven boys, or John Does, according to Webby, and none of the testifying juveniles have immunity agreements. In addition, prosecutors have other juvenile witnesses, who are not named victims.

Police say they two girls ran away from their group home on Dec. 14, and ended up with Williams. He allegedly raped one of them at the Park Lane Hotel on MacArthur Boulevard, and later told the girl to go to "work" on International Boulevard, a well-known open air sex market. Police stopped the girl around 4:20 p.m. on Dec. 15, for wearing scantily clad lingerie, and discovered her young age and runaway status, according to court records.

Eight months after two Santa Rosa teenagers died from cocaine investigators say was laced with fentanyl, prosecutors have filed murder charges against a 22-year-old man accused of supplying the deadly drugs.

Emergency services were alerted to the incident at a residential premises in Grattan Wood, Donaghmede, at around noon today. One male juvenile in his teens was discovered with serious stab injuries and has since been pronounced dead. Two other male juveniles also suffered suspected stab or slash-type wounds which are not thought to be life-threatening at this time. Other people were in the property at the time but escaped without suffering physical injury and raised the alarm.
