Spokane Couple Admits to Killing Daughter’s Ex, Falsely Accusing Him of Selling Their Daughter to Seattle-Based Sex Trafficking Ring [Video]

A Spokane couple pleaded guilty Thursday to killing their daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend four years ago after falsely accusing him of sex trafficking the girl.

As part of an agreement, John B. Eisenman, 63, pleaded guilty as charged to first-degree murder in the death of Andrew Sorensen. Brenda D. Kross, 57, pleaded to first-degree manslaughter for her role in the November 2020 killing of Sorensen, whose mother said he had cerebral palsy and autism, as reported by the Spokesman-Review.

The killing grabbed headlines across the nation because of Eisenman’s sex-trafficking claim and even earned him financial support on a crowd-funding website for his legal defense. He later said he was likely under the influence of methamphetamine at the time of the slaying.

The prosecution and defense agreed to a 22-year prison sentence for Eisenman and an eight-year sentence for Kross. Spokane County Superior Court Judge Annette Plese will sentence the couple Jan. 16.
