SARASOTA, FL — A 23-year-old Sarasota man will spend the next 50 years in prison, a Sarasota County judge decided Tuesday. Ronald McBride was found guilty on six felony charges, including human sex trafficking, back in June.
The charges against McBride stemmed from a December 2015 Sarasota Police Department case in which a woman was beaten with a gun, held against her will, coerced to perform sex acts, sexually battery and then forced to give McBride money, an arrest report stated.
Following an investigation that kicked off with a report of a battery, McBride was charged with human trafficking, aggravated assault with a weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, robbery with a firearm, false imprisonment and sexual battery. He was found guilty on all six charges on June 17.
The 50-year sentence handed down Tuesday, Nov. 15, represents justice served, said Sarasota Sgt. Robert Armstrong.
