Tommy Christopher Cox, 32, was convicted last November for selling an Atlanta boy for sex in Chicago hotel rooms. Yesterday Cox was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
In October, Cox pleaded guilty to possessing more than 800 stolen credit-card numbers that he used to rent hotel rooms in Chicago at which he would host parties and sell the boy for sex.
Cox’s attorney, Gal Pissetzky, asked the judge for a 5-year sentence, while prosecutors sought up to 15 1/2 years. Pissetzky said his client plans to appeal.
