FARGO (KFGO) - A federal jury in Fargo has found an Illinois man guilty in a sex trafficking case.
29 year-old Anthony Collier was charged after his probation agent found an image on his Facebook page of a young woman on her knees in lingerie, with a dog collar around her neck and Collier holding a leash. A search of his cellphone contained several images, including one of a 17 year-old girl.
The US Attorney's Office says Collier used Backpage.com to advertise women for sex. The sex took place at hotels and homes in Fargo and Moorhead. A total of five victims were identified.
Moorhead Police, the Dept. of Homeland Security and North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation worked on the case.
