Edwards
GOSHEN – A Newburgh man was sentenced in Orange County Court on Thursday to 12 years in state prison and five years of post-release supervisor for the felony of sex trafficking.
Theodore Edwards, 50, was charged with kidnapping, four counts of rape, three counts of sexual act, 12 counts of sex trafficking, five counts of promoting prostitution, four counts of coercion, two counts of kidnapping, sexual abuse, stalking, assault and unlawful imprisonment.
The charges stem from allegations that he kidnapped or unlawfully imprisoned four women at 222 Broadway in the City of Newburgh, subjected them to assaults and other physical abuse, and forced them to perform sex acts on him, and in the case of three women, on other individuals as well.
Edwards posted Internet ads to have sex with three of the victims.
On October 27, he pled guilty to sex trafficking.
