Sex Trafficking Trial

Sex Trafficking Trial

By WBNG News

A child sex abuse trial focuses on a storage locker and hotel records.

A girl claims she was forced into sex for money and as payment for rent.

46 year old Linda O'connor of Norwich and 49 year old Dean Sacco of New Jersey face federal charges of sex trafficking and child pornography.

They're on trial in federal court in Binghamton.

A New York State trooper testified about a storage facility containing Sacco's belongings.

Investigators found a condom that tested positive for male and female DNA.

His defense attorney, Kelly Fischer, pointed out another person rented the unit and claims Sacco never had access.

Also, a Norwich City Police officer testified he never saw pictures or videos showing the victim in a sexual manner.

The girl claims there are pictures of her having sex with Sacco.

She also claims O'Connor took her to a Johnson City hotel around Christmas 2006 to have sex with two other men.

The victim told police O'Connor checked into the Best Western using her own name.

But defense attorney Lisa Peebles pointed out there is no record of the O'Connor or the girl checking in after early December 2006.
