Minnesota Man Sentenced in South Dakota Sex Trafficking Case

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Minnesota man accused of forcing a woman into prostitution in Sioux Falls has been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison.

Authorities say 31-year-old David Nance and a co-defendant drove a 33-year-old woman from Minnesota to Sioux Falls in August 2014. The operation allegedly involved an ad on Backpage.com that was answered by several men.

Nance was sentenced Monday to 37 months in prison.

Nance and his co-defendant, Ashley Crayton, both signed plea deals in the case.
