Ex-Cop Sentenced for Sex Trafficking Minors

Former Metropolitan Police Officer Linwood Barnhill Sentenced to 27 Years for Sex Trafficking Minors: A Repeat Offenders Downfall
A former Metropolitan Police Department officer, Linwood Barnhill, has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for sex trafficking minor girls. Barnhill, 59, pleaded guilty in September to recruiting and exploiting underage victims for commercial sex. The judge also imposed lifetime supervised release and ordered him to pay $10,000 in restitution. Barnhills crimes involved targeting vulnerable minors and forcing them into sex work, earning over $10,000 in profits from at least one victim. This sentencing comes after Barnhills previous conviction in 2014 for pandering minors and possessing child pornography, during which he was still a cop in the Seventh District. Despite his release, Barnhill resumed his criminal activities, using his victims to recruit more girls. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced the sentencing, and FBI officials hailed it as a victory against repeat predators, emphasizing their commitment to locking up such offenders for good.
