A Connecticut man could spend the rest of his life behind bars … after a jury found him guilty this week of sex trafficking during the 2020 Chiefs vs. 49ers Super Bowl.
Federal prosecutors say the man, Edward Walker, brought two women and a 17-year-old girl to Miami from Connecticut in order to coerce them into having sex with people for cash during the Big Game and the leadup to it.
The @Chiefs are once again Super Bowl Champions! ??
Authorities say Walker took the money for the acts and kept it all — and had planned to do the same thing with the women in the future at different locations like the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago and Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Walker, though, was eventually arrested and charged, and after a trial this month … he was found guilty of several charges, including sex trafficking by force and coercion.
Feds announced Friday that Walker now faces up to life in prison … with his sentencing hearing slated for Jan. 6, 2022.
In their announcement, authorities continued to urge people to help in the fight against sex trafficking by calling 1-888-373-7888.
