OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — A federal jury in Mississippi has convicted two people for transporting a woman across state lines to engage in prostitution. U.S. Attorney William C. Lamar and FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Freeze said Wednesday that after a two-day trial, jurors convicted Mario D. Collins, of Memphis, Tennessee, and Paulette M. Clayton, of Atlanta, of trafficking the victim from Georgia to Tennessee and ultimately to Oxford, Mississippi, for commercial sex purposes. No sentencing date has been set.
