Gonzalez was accused of forcing the girl into prostitution and bringing her to Graciano, who managed a laundromat. She was sentenced to a maximum of 16 years and six months in prison.

Assistant District Attorney Kia Chavious said in court Monday that Gonzalez was the one who reported the sexual abuse of the girl in January 2014. She gave Winston-Salem police detectives the names and numbers of all the men who had raped the girl for money.

Gonzalez drove the girl, who was a virgin at the time, to Graciano, who raped the girl in order to teach her how to sexually please men. Then he took her to an abandoned apartment, where other men raped the girl for money, Chavious said.

For two years, the girl was raped and sexually assaulted by men in exchange for money, she said. The girl became pregnant and also contracted chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease.

Winston-Salem police detectives became suspicious because Gonzalez had the names and numbers of men who had raped the girl and continued their investigation.

In November 2016, the girl told police that Gonzalez had forced her into prostitution.
