A Mitchell man was sentenced to seven years in prison for sex trafficking.  58-year old Timothy Bingham will also be on probation for five years following his release.  He pled guilty in November to a conspiracy for sex trafficking charge.  Bingham and another man, Walter Jandreau, coerced a 16-year old girl to engage in a commercial sex act.  Bingham picked up Jandreau and the teen and took them back to his residence where he gave Jandreau methamphetamine in exchange for sexual contact with the juvenile.  Jandreau was sentenced last month to 17 years in prison.
