A Shirley man pleaded guilty to sex trafficking and promoting prostitution, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors say Javesh Persaud lured an 18-year-old homeless woman to Long Island by promising her a house and food.

Persaud faces up to 12 years in prison when sentenced.
