Tills sentenced to 18 months for transporting prostitutes across state lines.

A former State Supreme Court judge who pleaded guilty to transporting prostitutes across state lines will serve time in federal prison.

Ronald H. Tills, 74, of Hamburg, was sentenced Friday in federal court to 18 months in prison.

Tills is the third man to be sentenced in connection with a federal prostitution sting involving local massage parlors.

Two other defendants — retired Lockport Police Capt. John Trowbridge, 62, and Tills’ former law clerk, Michael Stebick, 61 — had previously been sentenced.

Trowbridge received two years’ probation, and Stebick was given four months’ home confinement.

The men were all members of the Royal Order of Jesters, an international fraternal society.

Tills admitted last September to violating the Mann Act by transporting prostitutes across state lines.

Trowbridge pleaded guilty to transporting the woman, an illegal alien identified in court papers as “Jane Doe No. 1,” to Kentucky, to engage in prostitution with members of the Royal Order of Jesters.

As part of his plea, Tills admitted to five additional occasions of transporting a woman across state lines for prostitution.
