When Jelinajane Bedrijo Almario was 16 years old, she reportedly befriended younger girls and acted as their pimp, taking them to motels in Tulare County, California, where they were sold for sex. On Monday, Almario, who just turned 18, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for human trafficking of children, among other charges. Almario was tried as an adult despite being a juvenile when the crimes were committed, according to The Associated Press.
