SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Milwaukee man has been sentenced to 10 months in prison after he admitted to pimping a woman in southeast South Dakota.

U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier has also ordered the 23-year-old Jaquon Duckworth to follow his prison time with two years of supervised release. Duckworth pleaded guilty to a transportation for prostitution charge in April.

Duckworth was arrested at a hotel in Sioux Falls in June 2014. Federal authorities say Duckworth posted ads online and accepted phone calls to arrange meetings for commercial sexual activity.

Authorities say Duckworth later admitted that he traveled from Milwaukee to Sioux Falls with a woman to have her engage in prostitution.

Duckworth is now under the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
