Jamestown woman sentenced to 12 years for sex trafficking of minor
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Jamestown woman was sentenced to serve 12 years in prison for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor, the United States Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Officials said between August and October 2020, Jasmin Osteen, 27, conspired with others to coerce two 17-year-olds to engage in commercial sex acts.
Osteen transported the victims to a hotel in Buffalo where they were given alcohol and drugs. She then reached out to various clients who engaged in commercial sex acts with the victims, the attorney’s office said.
Osteen arranged the commercial sex acts on Facebook and received most of the proceeds.
She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor back in August 2023.
