Anton Lazzaro calls cash 'gifts,' says sex with underage girls not related

Wednesday's proceedings were delayed by overnight revelations of new evidence

Anton Lazzaro's defense against federal child sex trafficking charges continued Wednesday, marked by contentious exchanges with the prosecution and warnings from the judge over remarks made before jurors.

Lazzaro, 32, struck an at-times defiant and incredulous tone while under questioning. He admitted to having sex with numerous teens under 18, said he gave them cash and other goods, but denied that the two were related.

"You viewed these girls as objects and ... you would purchase them with stacks of cash?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Melinda Williams asked, as she displayed an image of a shirtless Lazzaro holding stacks of $100 bills that he sent to two girls.
