St Louis Escorts: Missouri man going to prison for luring teen into prostitution
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A suburban St. Louis man has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for promoting the prostitution of a 16-year-old girl.
The sentence was handed down Wednesday in U.S. District Court for 27-year-old Melvin Moore of St. Peters. He pleaded guilty in December to one count of use of an interstate facility to promote prostitution.
Court documents show that in September, a runaway girl met Moore, who asked her to work for him as a prostitute. The U.S. Attorney’s office says Moore promised to make her the “Queen Bee” among his prostitutes.
Moore advertised the girl’s services on the Internet. Authorities say she went on more than 10 prostitution calls and made about $2,000 that was turned over to Moore.
