Denver man sentenced to 448 years for human trafficking — believed to be the longest in state history for such crimes

A Denver man received what is believed to be the longest sentence in Colorado history Thursday for human trafficking convictions.

Judge Kandace Gerdes handed down a 448-year prison sentence to Robert Hawkins after he was convicted on 18 counts — including five counts of human trafficking — in Denver District Court Tuesday. Victims and family members read impact statements prior to sentencing.

After the sentencing hearing, Juror #8 said the evidence made it easy to reach a guilty verdict.

“The prosecution did a great job of presenting really solid evidence, and there were a few questions, and again, we took it very seriously,” said the juror who did not want to give their name. “We went through a lot of information, a lot of evidence, but it was pretty apparent what was happening.”
