Nicholas Darren Jay Moline, 20, is accused of arranging the prostitution of a minor in Clark County two years ago.
The Vancouver man was in Clark County Superior Court this week and is facing a Class A felony charge of promoting the commercial sexual abuse of a minor. He was held on $50,000 bail and a Vancouver defense attorney was appointed to represent him.
The victim, a 17-year-old girl, reported in February 2012 that she had been prostituted after she contacted Moline on Facebook asking him to get her drugs. Moline is accused of arranging for the teenage girl to have sex with a man who would give her methamphetamine in exchange. Court records say that Moline wrote to the girl that he could “sell her.” Moline allegedly wrote that he had a dealer with an ounce of meth who wanted teenage girls.
The victim met with the dealer in a Clark College parking lot and performed a sexual act in exchange for the drugs. When a Vancouver police detective interviewed Moline he admitted to prostituting her but said he never found a trick for her and that nothing ever came of it.
