RAPID CITY, S.D. (KELO.com) — A multi-state sex trafficker will be off the streets for decades.
Emily Nicole Yeary, 26, of Summerset, South Dakota, was sentenced to forty years behind bars.
From 2019 to 2022 Yeary traveled to Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida and Missouri to lure underage girls and groom and manipulate them for criminal sexual activity.
Yeary posed herself online as an underage male named “Riley”.
U.S. Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell said, “This is among the most heinous cases of child exploitation our office has prosecuted.”
