In 2019, Soauib Butcher brought the girl by train to New York City, where he instructed the victim to perform oral sex for money on a rooftop in Brooklyn, US Attorney Philip Sellinger said.
Several days later, Butcher brought the victim to Elizabeth where, from August 2019 to January 2020, the victim stayed with Butcher and another person in a series of motel rooms, Sellinger said.
The conspirator posted advertisements depicting the victim on escort websites and, together with Butcher, arranged for customers to come to the motels to have sex with the victim in exchange for money, Sellinger said.
Butcher pleaded guilty in Newark federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor and faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced in February, Sellinger said.
