A Houston County judge sentenced a Tennessee man to 50 years in prison for involving a teenage girl in human trafficking and giving her illegal drugs.

Circuit Court Judge Butch Binford sentenced 28-year-old Santiago Alonso to serve 40 years in prison for the felony first-degree human trafficking charge and an additional 10 years for the felony distribution of drugs to a minor charge. He ordered both charges to be served consecutively with each other. Binford also sentenced Alonso to 12 months in the county jail for a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. But Binford ordered that sentence to be served concurrently with the 50-year sentence.
