A Kyle woman was sentenced June 14 to 15 years in state prison after pleading guilty to one count of first-degree trafficking a child – compelling prostitution.
Nancy Cisneros, 43, was originally charged with three counts of trafficking a child – compelling prostitution and three counts of compelling prostitution based on a number of incidents, spanning three days in late June and early July 2015.
The Hays Free Press reported Cisneros, along with Bernell Jackson Quillens, of Houston, trafficked an underage teenager for sex in the Kyle and San Marcos area. The two were accused of placing escort advertisements on Backpage.com, which is a classifieds website.
In 2016, Carl Ferrer, the CEO of Backpage.com, was arrested on felony pimping charges.
According to court documents, Cisneros waived her right to a jury trial and pled guilty based on evidence in the form of testimony from the victim, a Kyle teenager under the age of 18.
According to documents, Cisneros will have the 11 months and 15 days she has already been incarcerated credited to her sentence that had already been imposed.
Since Cisneros was convicted of the first count of trafficking a child – compelling prostitution, Hays County Judge Bill Henry dismissed the other five charges.
According to the Judgment of Conviction document, there are no requirements for Cisneros to register as a sex offender and she will serve her remaining sentence of approximately 14.04 years concurrently.
At this time it is unknown if Cisneros will be eligible for parole at any time while serving her sentence.
Cisneros’ release is projected for 2032.
