Md. Man Pleads Guilty To Prostituting Girl

BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA) -- A Glen Burnie man pleaded guilty Tuesday to interstate transportation of a minor to engage in prostitution.

According to 42-year-old Derwin Samuel Smith's plea agreement,  a 12-year-old girl who was reported missing and believed to be involved in prostitution called a relative from a motel room in Anne Arundel County in June 2010. The motel room was registered to Smith.

According to the same papers, on June 7, 2010, the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force located the girl and she told officers that Smith told her that he would be back that evening to have sex with her.

She also told officers Smith had picked her up on the street in Washington, DC, paid for sexual services performed in the backseat of his car and recruited her to work for him as a prostitute.
