ATLANTA - An Atlanta man convicted of organizing a sex show that involved a 16-year-old girl was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison. <br>
<br>
Last month, a jury convicted Jason Chadwick Ford, 25, on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor for paying the teen to perform a lesbian sex act at Club Zinc last July. <br>
<br>
During a raid at the club, police found another woman engaged sexually with 10 men onstage. More than 100 spectators had paid $25 each to watch, authorities said. <br>
<br>
Ford had said he thought the girl was 18. <br>
<br>
On Tuesday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Manis sentenced Ford to 20 years in prison, requiring only eight to be carried out. <br>
<br>
Manis also had directed a verdict of acquittal for Amanda Jones, Ford's 29-year co-defendant, who participated in the sex act with the teenager. The teen testified she told Jones she was an adult.
