Doug Peterson, Nebraska attorney general, said Linus Cloet, 60, of Sutton, was sentenced for pandering multiple victims, enticing them into commercial sex. Clay County District Court Judge Stephen R. Illingworth sentenced Cloet to 10 to 12 years in prison. Earlier in September, Cloet pleaded no contest to the pandering charge, which included three victims, all young males in their late teens or early twenties.
“This sentence shows that Nebraska will hold to account those who prey on the vulnerable, especially those exploited to satisfy a sexual appetite. These crimes happened in and around Sutton, population 1,503, which serves to reminds us all to be watchful, in our large and small communities, and to report incidents that appear to be criminal exploitation,” said Attorney General Peterson.
