A man arrested in Chattanooga's first reported case of sex trafficking will be going to prison for more than two years.

31-year-old Khari Matthew Troutman accepted responsibility for transporting a 21-year-old woman from Maryland to Tennessee for prostitution.

While the woman was in Chattanooga she told Troutman she wanted to return home to see her children.

That's when she says he beat her and held her captive until she was able to escape and use a borrowed cell phone to call 911.

Troutman originally pleaded not guilty but later changed his mind.
