Man Sentenced for Running Illegal Sex Trade in Kentucky

An illegal alien living in Kentucky has been sentenced to seven years in prison for a sex trafficking ring that spanned several counties. 

Adulfo De Aquaino-Cancino pled guilty last December to federal charges relating to the sex trafficking of minors.  According to an affidavit, he recruited and transported females for commercial sexual encounters that he benefited from financially. 

In an interview with Kentucky State Police, the 28-year-old illegal immigrant living in Taylor county, admitted he picked up underage girls in Campbellsville and took them to different locations where they would have sex with his friends.  The acts occurred in Taylor, Green, Adair, and Barren counties.
