Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 16, 2019, regarding Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB. Defense attorney Mr. Weingarten requests an adjournment of a detention hearing until Thursday, which the Court grants. Prosecutor Mr. Rossmiller accepts the delay but provides a rebuttal argument, asserting that federal law charges trafficking rather than 'child prostitution' because children cannot consent to sex, and noting that force is not required for underage victims.
