TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handbery and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a Tampa man was charged with sex trafficking of a minor.
According to court documents, Dontae Burton, 39, coordinated sex acts on behalf of the minor victim after he allegedly posted photos of her on adult escort websites. Investigators said Burton told the minor victim how the dates worked and the portion of the money that he would receive from the dates.
Burton also allegedly transported the minor victim to dates and received proceeds from her commercial sexual activity.
Officials said if Burton is convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
