LAS VEGAS (AP) — A second California man has been sentenced in Nevada to eight years in federal prison after he and a co-defendant pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement of a minor for getting two girls, ages 12 and 16, to travel to Las Vegas to work as prostitutes. U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said today that 21-year-old Seagram Joshua Miller was also ordered yesterday to serve 10 years of supervised release and register as a sex offender. Miller's sentencing comes after 20-year-old Ray Darnell Webb was sentenced in April in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.

Jim Edward Johnson's defense lawyer, William Terry, said today that his client will post bail and appear for a preliminary hearing July 1 in the slaying of 25-year-old Evan Plunkett.
