Florida- U.S. District Judge William J. Zloch on Friday sentenced Johnny Saintil [pictured], 28, Michael Defrand, 26, and Stanley Wilson, 26, of Broward, for their roles in a sex-trafficking conspiracy involving minors.

Zloch sentenced Saintil to 121 months in prison; Defrand to 188 months and Wilson to 102 months in prison.

From September 2009 through March 16, prosecutors said Saintil, Defrand, and Wilson were members of an organization that prostituted adult and minor females out of national and international hotel chains in Broward County. The organization advertised its prostitution services on the internet.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the U.S. Department of Justice.
