PHILADELPHIA -- A Delaware man has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for his role in a sex trafficking ring that targeted children and women in multiple states, the United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced Friday.
"Anthony Jones and his coconspirators used the bodies of children for their own financial benefit," said Williams. Officials said Bridges would use violent and coercive tactics to force his victims to remain in the sex trafficking operation,"including pouring water on them to keep them awake, choking them, and assaulting them."Anthony Jones' brother, Kristian Jones, was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
According to officials, the investigation began in November 2016, when a Tinicum Township police officer stopped a vehicle that had recently left a hotel known to be frequented by individuals engaged in prostitution.
