RALEIGH, N.C. — Daquanjra Tasha White, 29, of Fayetteville, was sentenced to 12 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for child sex trafficking, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Between November 2015 and January 2016, White prostituted three girls in Fayetteville and Raleigh, according to the U.S. Attorney. She recruited the children on social media, arranged to meet them, took provocative photos of them and then advertised them for prostitution online. White received money from the girls’ prostitution, according to the U.S. Attorney.

White was charged in a four-count indictment on Feb. 8, 2017, and pleaded guilty to one count on Feb. 5, 2018.

Fayetteville police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
