SAN ANGELO, Texas - A California man was sentenced to life in federal prison for the multi-year sex trafficking, exploitation, and abuse of a missing teenager whom he forced into commercial sex work across multiple states, federal prosecutors announced Monday.

What we know: Devin Maurice Harmon, 51, was sentenced July 31 by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who also ordered him to pay $5,250 in restitution.

A federal jury convicted Harmon in April on seven counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, enticement, transportation of a minor, and witness tampering.
