Man sentenced for taking minor to K.C., St. Louis for prostitution
ST. LOUIS – An admitted child sex trafficker appeared in federal court Tuesday to be sentenced for transporting minors from Texas to Missouri for prostitution.
Federal prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri said JoeMarius Green, 25, took the underage victims from Dallas to Kansas City on Feb. 12, 2023, to engage in prostitution during the Super Bowl.
After approximately four days, Green took the victims to a hotel near St. Louis Lambert International Airport for the same purpose.
Green admitted placing ads on escort service web sites, managing those ads, renting hotel rooms, setting prices, and taking all the money from the victims for their illegal sex acts.
Green’s girlfriend, Chantel Robinson, 21, also participated in the activities. Robinson admitted engaging in commercial sex acts, taking sexually explicit or suggestive photos of the victims for the online ads and posting the online ads. Prosecutors said she would manage the prostitution services whenever Green was absent.
Green pleaded guilty in January to one count of transporting a minor across state lines to engage in prostitution. He was sentenced 152 months in federal prison.
Robinson pleaded guilty in November 2024 to one count of possession of child pornography. She was sentenced this past July to 41 months in federal prison.
