An Omaha man convicted of forcing two young women into prostitution was sentenced to more than 100 years in prison on Monday.
Prosecutors say that on separate occasions in 2015, 45 year-old Anthony Swindle offered rides to females who were walking after dark. Police say they were 15 and 21 and that Swindle raped one and forced them both into prostitution.
Investigators say both the victims were vulnerable, one was homeless and the other suffered from mental illness. Police say both were threatened and beaten.
Swindle was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sex trafficking. A judge sentenced Swindle to 60 years to life for each sexual assault charge. He was sentenced to 40-60 years for one of the sex trafficking counts and 20-60 years for the second sex trafficking count.
