Chuncey Tarae Garcia holds a criminal record for dealing cocaine, but that’s not why he’s ending up behind bars this time. Convicted on March 7 for human trafficking and pimping a 14-year-old, Garcia was sentenced on Friday to serve the maximum possible sentence: 17 years to life in prison. 

Garcia posted provocative ads of the girl on prostitution sites and forced the young girl to walk streets in Buena Park and Anaheim, according to a press release.

This case makes Garcia the first person to be sentenced in Orange County under California’s anti-human trafficking Prop 35, which went into law in November 2012.
