CHAMBER GOES AFTER ENHANCED UNEMPLOYMENT: The U.S. Chamber of Commerce this morning seized on April’s vastly underwhelming jobs numbers, laying the blame on the federal $300 enhanced unemployment included in President
Joe Biden’s relief package and calling for the benefit to be scrapped.
Jury Convicts Madison Man of Sex Trafficking Minors
Posted on
MADISON, WIS. – Timothy M. O’Shea, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that James Coney, 32, Madison, Wisconsin, was found guilty today of 10 counts related to sex trafficking of minors. The jury reached its verdict after five hours of deliberation following four days of testimony in U.S. District Court in Madison.
Coney was found guilty of 4 counts of sex trafficking a minor, 1 count of sex trafficking a minor by force, 1 count of attempted sex trafficking a minor, and 4 counts of transporting a minor from Wisconsin to Illinois for the purpose of prostitution.
“That shows this was a choice for financial gain,” Taylor told U.S District Judge James Peterson.
Nance’s age should also indicate a need for the eight-year sentence that Taylor requested. People generally “age out” of criminal activity, but Nance, who was convicted of crack cocaine distribution 14 years ago in Pennsylvania, escalated his criminality, telling police he sold about a half-pound of meth every three to four days.
Peterson characterized Nance’s meth trafficking as not a huge amount, “but really significant for this area and a sharp increase for other cases he had seen.
“This was not a small-time operation here,” Peterson said.
