They pimped out underage, drug-addicted teenagers and introduced one girl to a man they called "Pedophile Frank," who gave her drugs and made her "star" in his child porn videos.
On Thursday, the ringleader of the Palm Beach County child sex-trafficking operation, Dontavious Mingel Blake, 33, was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison.
His former girlfriend, Tara Jo Moore, 27, was sentenced to 15 years.
Though both exploited vulnerable girls, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra said they did not deserve equal punishments.
"Mr. Blake's involvement is really despicable," the judge said.
Blake and Moore controlled the girls by giving them a place to live at their West Palm Beach townhome and feeding them cocaine and pain pills, authorities said.
