Scott Robinson, 46, was jailed for 30 years for forcing his daughter into prostitution
A father pimped out his 16-year-old daughter at truck stops after forcing her in to prostitution after learning she'd had sex.
Scott Robinson, 46, took the teenager to tractor stops near their home in Baytown, Texas, and forced her to approach men offering her body for money for four months.
She told police she had 'several' customers a night and that her father kept whatever money she made.
He also forced her to make an ad on the listings website Backpage.com to bring in customers.
It described her as 'clean kept and always shaved'.
Robinson was jailed for 30 years this week for aggravated compelling of prostitution after being caught when he set up an appointment in a hotel room with an undercover police officer in 2015.
The child had offered the officer oral sex in return for $280.
