KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A western Missouri woman has been sentenced to slightly more than three years in prison for sex trafficking in Kansas.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says Danyelle Putman, 21, of Independence, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Kansas City, Kan.
Putman and a co-defendant, Tony A. Rogers, of Kansas City, Mo., both pleaded guilty in December to transporting a person over state lines to engage in prostitution.
Rogers and Putman were arrested in August 2012 by police conducting a prostitution sting in the Johnson County town of Prairie Village. An investigator called a number on a website and arranged with Putman for a woman to meet in Prairie Village for sex.
Putman and Rogers were arrested after dropping off a 17-year-old girl who police described at the time as a runaway.
