A 26-year-old woman accused of assisting an adult woman to work as a prostitute, received a three year sentence Thursday.
Patricia Munoz, 26, pleaded guilty in Essex County on Feb. 17 to promoting prostitution. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors recommended a three-year prison sentence.
Munoz, who has served nearly two years in prison, will receive credit for time served, making her eligible for parole in the upcoming months.
The human trafficking charges against Munoz for her role in recruiting a 15-year-old girl to work as a prostitute in Essex County along with four others were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
