A Dallas man has been sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for kidnapping a woman he planned to sell as a sex slave.

Steric Paul Mitchell, 47, was sentenced last week, the U.S. attorney's office announced Tuesday. He was convicted in 2015 of one count of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

According to prosecutors, Mitchell's friend Gregory Steven Hunt picked up the victim at a hotel on May 6, 2012.

The 23-year-old woman was under the impression she was going to dance for a group of men at a private party, but Hunt drove her to an abandoned house in Dallas where Mitchell was waiting.

Authorities said Mitchell shocked the woman with a Taser and Hunt raped her.

Mitchell then shocked the woman again, tied her ankles and wrists and wrapped her in a sheet before taking her to a second Dallas home where he raped her, authorities said. He also told her he planned to sell her into sex slavery, prosecutors said.

Mitchell later drove the woman to a home in Duncanville and again raped her, according to his indictment. She was able to find a cellphone at the home and called 911. Duncanville police arrived soon after and arrested Mitchell.

"The sentence imposed today reflects the egregiousness of Mitchell's conduct in this case," U.S. Attorney John R. Parker said in a statement. "It is difficult to imagine the level of suffering his victim experienced. The sentence handed down today takes into account that suffering and ensures that Mitchell will never again commit such crimes."

Hunt, 44, pleaded guilty in 2015 to one count of kidnapping and was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
