AUSTELL, Ga. -- A pimp known as Candyman was sentenced in federal court Monday on charges of sex trafficking involving a teenage girl.
A judge sentenced 30-year-old Chesire Martinez Robinson of Austell to 17 years and five months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He must also register as a sex offender and pay $14,440 in restitution.
According to information presented in court, "Candyman" brought a 16-year-old girl to Georgia from her South Carolina hometown in mid-2009. He knew the victim was a minor, but still forced her to prostitute herself at a truck stop and various hotels in the Atlanta area. Robinson reportedly earned more than $14,000 from his victim's sex acts, which she performed six nights a week for hours at a time.
"For nearly two months, this predator sexually exploited a 16-year-old girl for his financial gain," said U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "The crime he committed deserves the 17-year prison sentence imposed on him by the court."
Robinson was convicted of the charges against him on Sept. 14.
