A man who attempted to recruit a 16-year-old girl to become a prostitute was convicted by a San Diego jury this week of federal charges.
Keenon Green, 35, was arrested last year at a park in Santee, where prosecutors say he had planned to meet up with a teenage girl and take her to Orange County to work as a prostitute.
Prosecutors say Green began conversing with Lexi over Instagram in December of 2021. In their messages, the pair discussed Lexi working for Green as a prostitute, which would involve her working the street until Green could secure her a fake ID in order to begin posting online sex ads. The U.S. Attorney's Office alleges Green sought to pick up Lexi and have her earn him $1,000"before returning her to San Diego on Monday to attend high school."
