After a 10-day trial in March, a jury found Lazzaro, 32, guilty of bringing five teenage girls to his apartment in downtown Minneapolis and paying them for sex, in violation of federal sex trafficking laws.

    I don’t disagree. But it’s dangerous to refer to someone as a “pedo” (as the parent commenter did) for legal behavior.

    Again, the guy is a predator, no doubt, but the conviction was for trafficking, because of the payment, not for the sexual acts. If you have a problem with any person of any age having sex with a 16 year old in Minnesota, your ire should be directed in much greater measure towards the state of Minnesota, which allows such behavior.
