By Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. - A Georgia man who prosecutors say operated a sex and drug trafficking business has been sentenced to serve more than three decades in prison.
Anthony Wilson Jackson, 50, led a scheme to carry out sex trafficking across the country and shipped and distributed large quantities of marijuana around Savannah, federal prosecutors said. He was sentenced Thursday to serve 30 years and six months in prison after pleading guilty to numerous federal charges.
"Anthony Jackson is a violent serial criminal who profited from trafficking drugs and renting human beings for sex acts," Acting U.S. Attorney David Estes said in a news release.
