Three Canton Residents to be Sentenced Later on Federal Sex Convictions

CLEVELAND, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Three Canton residents are being sentenced later for their guilty pleas in a sex trafficking operation.

It’s an operation that forced two drug-addicted women to perform sex acts for clients at a Canton home during the Summer of 2018.

37-year-old Larrien Brown-Austin pleaded guilty to federal charges last week.

His 67-year-old father Larry and 30-year-old Shannon Marzano are co-defendants.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says the younger Brown-Austin advertised the women’s services on prostitution websites like backpage.com.

The revenue brought was used in part to satisfy their drug habits.
