Greeley pimp who trafficked teens gets 248-year-sentence

A Greeley man convicted of human trafficking and pimping several underage girls, among other felonies, was sentenced Wednesday in Weld County to a maximum possible sentence — 248 years to life in prison.

Paul Burman, 33, was convicted in August on 32 criminal counts, all but one of them were felonies, for prostituting several victims, adults and teenagers, including one as young as 15, according to the Weld County district attorney’s office.

Burman, who was known by the alias “Haylo,” provided the victims with drugs and alcohol, arranged meetings and booked hotel rooms, where victims would have sex with men. Money paid to the victims was turned over to Burman.

“What he did to me and the other women caused significant trauma on my everyday life,” a victim said at Wednesday’s sentencing, according to a district attorney’s news release. “He forced me to do things that are unbelievable. He raped me and made me feel worthless as a human being.”
