Iowa trucker gets 24 years for sex with teen
A trucker has been sentenced to more than 24 years in prison after pleading guilty to driving a 13-year-old girl from Iowa to Kansas to have sex with her.
U.S. District Court Judge Linda Reade sentenced 28-year-old Brandin Christian Hagen of Fredericksburg, Iowa, on Wednesday to 24 years and five month after he pleaded guilty in April to one count of transporting a child in interstate commerce with intent to engage in unlawful sexual activity. There is no parole in the federal system.
In a plea agreement, Hagen admitted that in fall 2009 he drove the girl from Iowa to Bonner Springs, Kansas, and had sex with her in the truck's sleeper compartment.
