Back in April of 2009 police in Washington began an investigation into a juvenile runaway from Seattle who was posting ads that said she was a prostitute. She was located as well as another girl.
Turns out that U.S. Army Sergeant Sterling Terrance Hospedales of Florida set her up in his apartment so that she could work for him as a prostitute and he flew in another girl from Wyoming so she would do the same. Guess he wasn’t counting on that army pension being enough for him.
When Hospedales was arrested leaving his apartment he was carrying an envelope with $882 and a birth certificate which belonged to one of the girls.
Sterling has pleaded guilty to Sex Trafficking of a Child and Attempted Sex Trafficking of a Child. Prosecutors agreed to seek a sentence of 10-15 years in exchange for his plea but it’s possible he could get life. The Army is also dishonorably discharging this filth.
