A New Jersey couple could now face life behind bars after they plead guilty human trafficking a child according to Federal prosecutors.
The couple has been identified as Richard Ortiz and Gabriella Colon, both of the Bronx, NY.
Both could face a life term for conspiracy when they are sentenced in May, reports AP.
Prosecutors say Ortiz and Colon recruited and enticed the child, and posted the youth's photos on a website advertising the child for sexual services.
The couple also admitted collecting money from numerous people who paid to have sexual relations with the child.
No information was released on the child.
