BINGHAMTON – The alleged victim in a child sex trafficking case took the witness stand for more than six hours Tuesday in a Binghamton federal courtroom.
This is the third week of testimony in the trial of Linda O’Connor, 46, of Norwich, and Sacco, 49, of Jersey City, N.J., who are charged with buying a child for sex, sex trafficking of a child, and possessing and producing child pornography for filming encounters with the girl. Sacco also is accused of driving over state lines to have sex with a minor. It is alleged that O’Connor sold the girl to Sacco, exchanging her sexual favors for back rent O’Connor owed to Sacco.
The alleged victim, now 14, told the court she was repeated sexually molested by O’Connor and raped by Sacco at least seven times between August of 2006 and February of 2007, and that O’Connor had sold her for sex with two different stangers at a Johnson City Hotel in late 2006. She also testified that Sacco had videotaped some of their encounters, although investigators have not uncovered that evidence. During the emotional testimony, the girl admitted to thoughts of suicide prompted by the alleged abuse. Taken out of foster care in March of 2007, the girl is now in a residential treatment facility.
