After the case being scheduled for the third trial, David Anderson agreed to a plea deal in the human trafficking case. 9 years 4 months. He plead to human trafficking, statutory rape and false imprisonment.
The case was prosecuted by DDA Luke Brownfield. The first two cases were presided over by Judge John Feeney. The third trial was scheduled before Judge Dale Reinholtsen. The first case was dismissed due to failure by People to provide discovery, in the second trial, a People's witness violated a motion regarding evidence being prohibited.
Anderson had a private attorney appointed and Mr. Ben McLaughlin represented him each time the case was tried.
Mr. McLaughlin's comment today was: "I am satisfied with the outcome. I've never been
involved in a case that was as thoroughly litigated and investigated as this. Mr. Brownfield and Investigator Baxley did a great job preparing and presenting the People's case. The defense investigation was equally as thorough, and cast into doubt some of the allegations. This disposition is fair and comports with what I believe the facts support."
