CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A registered sex offender from Washington state was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty in Wyoming to trafficking girls for sexual activity.
Prosecutors say 63-year-old David Peter Vier picked up the girls, ages 12 and 14, in Seattle in January. They said they wanted a ride to Kansas.
The girls reported Vier groped them, demanded sexual favors and said he was going to have sex with them at a motel in Cheyenne.
