PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Julia Haner, the former Lake Oswego cheerleader who admitted to human trafficking, was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison on Monday.
Haner said Monday she takes full responsibility and promised U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman she will no longer be involved with prostitution.
Following her prison term, Haner will be on a supervised release for 5 years.
The 20-year-old Haner pleaded guilty in June to violating the federal Mann Act, which makes it a crime to transport someone between states for prostitution. She and the victim used to ride the school bus together to Lake Oswego High School.
The judge said Haner betrayed a friend, but was betrayed herself during a difficult childhood. For that reason, he agreed to give her less time in prison than she could have received.
Haner was indicted in 2014 for the sex trafficking of a minor. She was a cheerleader at LOHS during the 2011-12 school year, and was arrested along with a man named Konrod Mason.
In April 2014, she removed a GPS ankle monitor and fled, eventually being caught in San Francisco in July. Police in California had charged her with conspiracy of human sex trafficking and possession of a concealed weapon.
She was extradited to Oregon to face these charges.
