The astonishing story of an 18-year-old girl who ran an underage sex ring has unfolded in an Ottawa court. The teen, who was 15 when she committed these crimes, was sentenced to 6 and a half years. The girl sold three others for sex in the spring of 2012, the youngest of whom was 13. Court heard she thought she was going to a sleepover. Instead she was brought to five johns. Another girl was raped. “Her crimes were heinous, premeditated and well-organized,” Judge Diane Lahaie said. “Money over everything. That was the ultimate driver. She let nothing stand in her way. “She answered to no one.” The judge said that calculated exploitation and a “bleak” prospect for rehabilitation justified an adult sentence. “The conduct is despicable,” Lahaie said. With credit for time served in pre-sentence custody, the girl has a little less than three years to serve.
