SALT LAKE CITY -- The trial is set to begin Tuesday for two Utahns accused of running a teen prostitution ring.
Prosecutors charge that DeWayne Hopkins used Internet sites such as Craigslist to sell "erotic massages." At least three girls under the age of 18 who worked for Hopkins were then paid for sex acts during those massages.
Hopkins and his accomplice, Julia Young, allegedly arranged meetings between the girls and customers at a Midvale hotel.
Both have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges.
