A Denver judge handed down what’s believed to be the longest sentence for a human trafficking conviction in United States history Thursday: 448 years. Robert Hawkins, a 44-year-old Denver man, was sentenced to a historic 448 years in prison Thursday on a series of charges including human trafficking, pimping, sexual assault and sexual exploitation, according to court records. The sentence isn’t just the longest recorded in Colorado, but in the United States, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Colorado’s previous sentencing record was 401 years after a sentence adjustment in Arapahoe County, Denver Chief Deputy District Attorney Lara Mullin said in a Thursday press conference. Encompassed in Hawkins’ 448-year sentence is another 200 years for other charges that he will serve concurrently, Mullin said. Between 2018 and 2021, Hawkins exploited four adult women and two children in Denver, using physical violence and threats to keep the victims under his control and profiting from the sale of their bodies, according to a news release from the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
