ATLANTA, Ga.---Former WCW wrestler Harrison Norris Jr. has been sentenced to a life prison sentence. He was known as "Hardbody" Harrison in his wrestling days.

Norris was convicted on federal sex trafficking and forced labor statute violations.

The Prosecutor said Norris ran a forced prostitution ring in the Atlanta area in which women were sexually assaulted, held in debt and forced to work and perform sex acts against their will.

He was convicted in November on 24 counts after an investigation into what was going on at two homes he owned in Cartersville, Ga.

A co-defendant, Aimee Allen, pleaded guilty and cooperated with the government. She was sentenced to 34 months in prison.
Another co-conspirator, Cedric Jackson, was sentenced earlier to five years in prison.
