GOLDEN — A man who in Jefferson County last year, advertising her sexual services online, was sentenced Monday to six years in prison.
“I’m here for my retribution,” Roger McLamb, 36, told the court before his sentence was handed down.
McLamb pleaded guilty in November to attempted pimping of a child. He was arrested in February 2014 by federal agents along with two women at a home in Lakewood where investigators say he was living with the teen in a basement.
“I’m here to take ownership and responsibility for my actions,” McLamb, clad in a yellow jail uniform, told the court.
Four other counts against McLamb, including charges of child sex trafficking and pimping a child, were dismissed by prosecutors.
McLamb had four prior felony convictions and was on federal parole when he was arrested in the pimping case. At his hearing, he said he was a part of gangs when he was a younger man, admitting that he had sex with the girl he pimped out to strangers.
McLamb’s accomplices, Susan Johnson, 24, and Tracy Wilson, 34, earlier pleaded guilty to charges relating to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Wilson is serving a deferred sentence, and Johnson is awaiting a March 16 sentencing.
Authorities say the trio would arrange for the teen girl to meet strangers at the Denver West Inn, where she would provide sex to strangers for money. The customers were solicited through online escort sites, the district attorney’s office said.
The girl told investigators she made roughly $1,000 a week, all of which was given to McLamb.
“You were pimping a (teen) out when you were on parole,” District Judge Christopher Munch said. “To say this is serious misconduct is an understatement.”
