Ellis County and District Attorney Ann Montgomery announced that Deandre DeSuza, 28, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was sentenced to life in prison for Trafficking of Persons. This case was the first trafficking of persons jury trial in Ellis County. One of the ways a child is trafficked in Texas is when a person knowingly transports a child under the age of 18 and causes that child to engage in or become a victim of sexual assault. That is how this case was charged.
