Two Sentenced in Hardbody Harrison Norris Sex Ring Case

Cedric Jackson and Aimee Allen was sentenced Thursday for their involvement in a sex trafficking ring run by “Hardbody” Harrison Norris. Jackson, 41, was sentenced to five years in prison and Allen was sentenced to two years and ten months in prison.

Two others were charged with providing investigators with false information to protect Norris. Leslie Smith, 22, and Michell Achuff, 25, were both sentenced to three years of probation.

 

Norris, a former professional wrestler, has not been sentenced yet. He is accused to recruiting women for the sex ring by telling them he would help them become professional wrestlers. Many of them were poor, homeless, and drug users. Norris would also bail women out of jail and used that debt to force them into prostitution.

 

His sentencing is scheduled for April 1. A federal jury convicted Norris on 24 counts including sex trafficking, forced labor, and witness tampering. He insists that he was only running a wrestling training camp for women.
