Trucker sentenced to 20 years in prison for transporting 11 year-old girl for sex
According to Zelaya-Robles’ August 5 plea agreement, the parents of an 11 year old girl living in Prince George’s County, Maryland reported their daughter missing on February 13. At approximately 2:00 a.m. that morning, Zelaya-Robles, a friend of the child’s family, picked up the girl at her parents’ home.
That day, Zelaya-Robles drove the child by car from Prince George’s County to Arlington County, Virginia where they got into his tractor-trailer rig. While driving the girl to Texas, Zelaya-Robles had sex with the child in the truck’s sleeper area of the truck.
After an AMBER Alert was broadcast, a Tennessee highway trooper spotted the truck and followed it to a truck stop in Jackson, Tennessee where he found the child in the sleeper.
Zelaya-Robles planned to take the girl to his native El Salvador where the two would live.
