MARKHAM, Ill. — A man suspected of killing a teenage girl on Christmas Eve and leaving her in the garage of a suburban Illinois home was denied bond Friday.

Antonio Rosales, 32, is accused of murdering 16-year-old Desiree Robinson, from the South Side of Chicago, after meeting the teen online.
Rosales turned himself into police three days ago, according to WGN-TV. He admitted to the murder and explained to authorities how he met the victim through an ad on Backpage.com, according to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

He does look smug. What a waste of a life. Rip Desiree
 
I saw this locally. It's heartbreaking to see such a young girl lose her life after making high risk choices. What leads a 16 try old girl to sell her body for money? She gambled and lost. How do we reach these young kids to convince them they are worth so much more than that? Clearly, her family cared deeply for her.

I hope they throw the book at this smug . Such a waste.
 
Its really so very sad. Different world than she I grew up. Got all these online places on these stupid smartphones kids can meet up with God only knows who.
Can't take the phone away, they rebel. I am not sure there are any ready answers other than creating jobs, which hopefully the US can do. Job would keep them busy and give them some cash.
I feel for her family. I pray they find peace and comfort in one another and with God.

Someone was pimping her out. She had apparently been missing for several weeks, and a 33 year old man has been arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. This 33 year old man is the "friend" who was supposed to be watching/waiting in the car for her safety. He was apparently sleeping in the car while she was murdered.

This infuriates me. My heart is broken for her mother and family.

Bail denied for alleged pimp charged with sex trafficking teen slain by client

Days after 16-year-old Desiree Robinson was slain allegedly by a man who had answered an online sex ad, the teen's pimp realized he had a problem, federal prosecutors say.

The issue for Joseph Hazley wasn't so much the girl's violent death — it was that his cash flow had been interrupted, according to prosecutors. To boost his bottom line, Hazley reached out to another girl whom he used to pimp.

"Now that she's gone, I have no money coming in," Hazley allegedly told the girl, identified in a criminal complaint as Individual B. "I need you to come back to work for me."

"Parente also said the mother of Hazley’s child has claimed he tossed her through a wall and dragged her down a hallway. She reported broken ribs and insisted Hazley “treats women like dogs,” Parente said.

The prosecutor said that woman saw Desiree at Hazley’s house in December 2016 and commented, “you look young as hell” while asking the girl for her ID. Parente said Hazley then dragged the woman out of his house while she insisted, “that b—- looks so young.”

"Charles McFee expected to be paid a $250 “finder’s fee” when he brought a 16-year-old girl he’d met on Facebook to a pimp in December 2016.

But the pimp, Joseph Hazley, never paid McFee the money, claiming the girl was costing him too much in clothes and makeup — not to mention the gas money needed to drive her around meeting people for sex, according to federal prosecutors."
 
Accused pimp set for trial after teen's murder put spotlight on Backpage

Robinson’s accused killer, Antonio Rosales, is still awaiting trial in state court. That’s where Yvonne Ambrose, Robinson’s mother, is also fighting a civil battle against Backpage and others she holds responsible for her daughter’s death.

It’s nearly been a year since the feds seized Backpage and its affiliated websites last April. They hit several people, including Backpage founders Michael Lacey and James Larkin, with a sprawling criminal indictment set to go to trial in 2020.
