Two Wisconsin men plead guilty in scheme to transport
three juveniles to Washington, D.C. for prostitution
Washington, D.C. - United States Attorney Kenneth L. Wainstein announced that two Wisconsin men have pled guilty to their roles in a scheme to transport three juveniles to Washington, D.C. for the purposes of prostitution. On Wednesday, September 14, 2005, Tom Edwards, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to one count of transportation of minors for illicit sexual conduct. Earlier, on November 22, 2004, his cohort, Eric Marshall, 27, also of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, pled guilty in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia to two counts of Enticing a Child from Home for the Purposes of Prostitution.
Edwards's plea is part of a joint prosecution effort by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin dating back to April 7, 2004, when three Milwaukee juveniles were found on the Washington, D.C. prostitution "track" near the 1100 block of Fourth Street, NW, after two of the juveniles agreed with undercover police officers to perform sexual acts for money. Further investigation revealed that Marshall and Edwards transported a 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old girl from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Washington, D.C. in order for the minors to engage in prostitution and earn money for Marshall and Edwards.
Marshall was arrested on April 7, 2004, in Washington, D.C. and eventually entered into a plea/cooperation agreement with the two United States Attorney's Offices. With Marshall's help, Edwards was arrested and apprehended in Milwaukee on June 2, 2005; he was later indicted by a federal court grand jury in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
When Marshall is sentenced on October 21, 2005, by the Honorable Patricia A. Broderick in the District of Columbia Superior Court, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years of imprisonment for each of the two counts to which he pled guilty. When Edwards is sentenced on November 22, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of 30 years of imprisonment.
In announcing the guilty pleas, United States Attorney Wainstein praised the work of Metropolitan Police Department officer Chad Hambrick, Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Bridget Thomas, and Eric Szatkowski and Michael Hoell of the Wisconsin Department of Justice who all participated in the investigation of the case. He also commended Assistant United States Attorney Alex J. Grant (DC) and Assistant United States Attorney Brian Pawlak (Wisconsin) who prosecuted the cases.
