A Nebraska man was sentenced today (Friday) to serve 10-years in prison for sex trafficking. U-S Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt reports 25-year old Adrien Jamaal Cole, of Omaha, was sentenced by United States District Court Senior Judge Robert Pratt to 120 months in prison for sex trafficking, to be followed by 10 years of Supervised Release.

On March 5th, 2014, Cole pled guilty to the charge which was the result of an investigation conducted by law enforcement into the use of minors as prostitutes in and around the Omaha Metropolitan area. Authorities say Cole had recruited teenage girls to serve as prostitutes and transported them to various locations in Omaha, and Council Bluffs, to engage in sexual activities with paying customers.

The investigation was conducted by the Omaha, Nebraska, Police Department, Council Bluffs, Iowa, Police Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
