Man accused of pimping teen girl to her death on Backpage to stay behind bars
The feds have not accused Joseph Hazley of murder.
But they do say he pimped 16-year-old Desiree Robinson on Backpage.com and delivered her to grown men for sex until she finally wound up dead in a Markham garage with her throat slit on Christmas Eve 2016.
And that, a federal judge said, is " bad enough."
However, a prosecutor also revealed new allegations against Hazley during a hearing Monday, including a claim that he once tossed a woman through a wall and generally "treats women like dogs." So U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman shot down yet another bid by Hazley for freedom while awaiting his October trial.
Still, the judge said she did not consider the written comments submitted by Desiree's mother, Yvonne Ambrose, who said she feared for her family's safety and insisted, "there are so many other children left to protect from him."
