A former Oregon high school cheerleader pleaded guilty Monday to recruiting a 17-year-old schoolmate to join her as a prostitute.
Julia Haner, 20, admitted to sex trafficking more than a year after authorities found the minor's prostitution ad on backpage.com, the Oregonian reported.
Haner had dropped out of Lake Oswego High School in 2013, first working at a strip club before moving on to prostitution.
She reached out to the girl, with whom she used to take the bus, on Facebook, offering her an opportunity to make money working alongside her and her then-30-year-old pimp, Konrod Mason, prosecutors said.
"Haner recruited the minor victim because she claimed she was lonely working in prostitution by herself," Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacie Beckerman said.
In February 2014, Haner and Mason drove the girl to a Motel 6 in Vancouver, Wash., under the conditions that she give up everything for Mason, prosecutors said.
Haner and the girl performed sex acts for money in Vancouver and Eugene, Ore., before authorities set up a meeting with the underage girl.
Police later arrested Haner and Mason at a Portland hotel, where they were found with a 20-year-old woman they had also allegedly brought into their ring.
Haner is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 28. Prosecutors plan to recommend a four-year prison term, the Oregonian reported.
Mason pleaded guilty to transporting a minor for prostitution in April and is awaiting sentencing.
The underage girl was returned to her family.
