Sentencing in teen prostitution trial put off to January

The sentencing of a teen girl who pleaded guilty to helping run a prostitution ring is being held off until January.

The girl, now 18, was 16 years old when she andtwo other teen girls were arrested and charged in 2012.

The Crown and defence made a joint submission in court Tuesday that the teen should be sentenced to one year of time already served and two years of probation. They're also asking for a weapons ban, a DNA sample to be added to a databankand extensive counselling.
