SALT LAKE CITY -- A man accused of running a teen prostitution ring has taken a plea deal.

DeWayne Hopkins, 27, admitted that he and his accomplice, Julia Young, took pictures of a teenage girl and posted them on Craigslist in spring of 2008.

He also said he drove her to a Midvale hotel so she could perform sex acts for money.

Details of the plea deal haven't been released, but the Salt Lake Tribune reports without it, Hopkins would have faced five years in prison. Sentencing is set for Sept. 1.

The case against Young is still pending.
