Federal court records show a Washington man arrested in southern Wyoming has pleaded guilty to trafficking girls for sexual activity.
KTWO-AM reports that in exchange for David Vier’s plea on Monday, prosecutors agreed to dismiss one count of being a registered sex offender involving a minor at the former Everett, Washington firefighter and paramedic’s Oct. 22 sentencing.
Law enforcement reports say Vier was arrested in January by Sweetwater County Sheriff’s deputies after receiving a call from a hotel employee about two girls hiding from a man.
The girls told authorities that their mother had recently kicked them out when they met Vier at a Seattle store. They said he had agreed to drive them to Wyoming for $100.
The girls said they later decided to run because they feared they would be sexually assaulted.
After Vier's arrest, law enforcement officers obtained a search warrant and searched his pickup.
They found a large duffel bag with restraint items including handcuffs, tape, sex aids, mouth gags, whips, clamps, a dog collar and leash, and three large fixed-blade knives. Officers also found a partially used vial of Amidate used for general anesthesia; and a partially used bottle of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine with one use being inducing sleep.
