29-year-old Myron Irby
Myron Irby, (MySpace and Facebook) a resident of Duluth, Georgia, was arraigned last week on federal charges of sex trafficking.
Irby allegedly forced a 16-year-old girl to prostitute herself so that he could pay his bills. Police first came across Irby when he and the girl were at a traffic stop in Kennesaw back in June 2011. He claimed that the girl was a family member but officers discovered she was a runaway so was taken to a treatment facility.
In October she ran away from the facility and pretty soon online ads with her picture started popping up again.
Investigators set up a sting and when Irby arrived with her at the Sandy Springs motel he was arrested.
Irby is currently facing a maximum sentence of life in prison and a fine up to $250,000 if convicted.
