Yolanda Ostoloza convicted pimping - A 39-year-old Florida mom has been found guilty of pimping her 15-year-old daughter on the streets of New York.
The accused mother Yolanda Ostoloza is reported to have intentionally traveled with the minor from Florida to New York with only one intention in mind--to pimp her during the 2014 Super Bowl weekend.
NYPD reports indicate that Yolanda Ostoloza was arrested after arranging a date for her daughter with a man she did not know. The man was an undercover NYPD detective.
On the said night, Yolanda Ostoloza is reported to have prepped her underage daughter and sent her to meet the customer; with a list of prices for different sexual services and a pack of condoms.
The teenage girl however snitched on her mother after been busted by the undercover cop.
"Think about what a barely 15 year old girl is supposed to be doing. Planning for her sweet 16, preparing to get her driver's permit. Doing her homework during her sophomore year of high school. Maybe even thinking about a high school sweetheart," assistant District Attorney Rachel Ehrhardt explained in her closing argument.
The prosecutor said instead of assisting her teenage daughter during these formative years, Yolanda Ostoloza , whom the girl looks to for support and guidance, only sought to abuse and exploit her for financial gains.
"When [Yolanda] Ostoloza sent her daughter off for what was expected to be a tryst, she pretended to care for her kid's well-being," Ehrhardt said. "What makes this so heinous...is the motherly advice this defendant gave her daughter right before she walked out that door: Be careful. Use protection."
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Justice Daniel Conviser has found Yolanda Ostoloza guilty of endangering the welfare of a child and promoting prostitution. The Yolanda Ostoloza convicted pimping case could see her spend up to 15 years in jail. She will be sentenced on Dec.9th.
Reports indicate that the accused denies the charges against her. Yolanda Ostoloza has sworn that she didn't intend to pimp her daughter. Her defense team said she only had discussions about contacting a pimp under whose watch she planned to work. The said pimp--Damon Hayes--has also been charged in connection with the case.
Lawrence LaBrew, Yolanda Ostoloza's lawyer, said his client's only intended to send her daughter to live with her father in New Jersey. After the Yolanda Ostolova convicted pimping trial, LaBrew said his client planned to appeal the charge.
The Yolanda Ostoloza convicted pimping trial has been widely reported by the media. It is unclear if this is the first time Yolanda Ostoloza had pimped her daughter. It is also not clear when LaBrews plans to appeal the Yolanda Ostoloza convicted pimping verdict.
