\"\"<\/a>MARYLAND<\/strong> – A man who bragged about committing a murder to his female victims was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Tuesday for sex trafficking, according to federal authorities.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge Paul W. Grimm sentenced Jean Claude Roy<\/strong>, aka Dredd the Don, 31, of Germantown, Maryland, after a jury convicted Roy on March 19 of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, three counts of interstate transportation for the purpose of prostitution, and one count of witness and evidence tampering.<\/p>\n

The case was investigated by the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force.<\/p>\n

“The Civil Rights Division is committed to pursuing justice on behalf of vulnerable members of our society,\u201d said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jocelyn Samuels for the Civil Rights Division. \u201cThis sentence sends a clear message that the United States will not tolerate modern-day slavery and will work tirelessly to restore the rights and dignity of its victims.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During the trial, victims recounted their fear of Roy, explaining instances of physical and sexual abuse, threats, tattoo branding and Roy\u2019s bragging of beating a murder charge years prior in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he could kill a man, who\u2019s gonna care about a prostitute,\u201d said one victim from the witness stand. Witnesses detailed the guns in Roy\u2019s possession and how he prostituted women in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to evidence, this is what happened:<\/p>\n

Between August and September 2012, Roy transported a victim across state lines to engage in prostitution and forced the victim to engage in prostitution by taking the victim\u2019s identity documents and keeping all of the victim\u2019s money.<\/p>\n

In November 2012, Roy recruited co-defendant Brittney Creason<\/strong> to engage in prostitution at his direction. \u00a0Creason helped Roy recruit and transport girls from Illinois and North Carolina to engage in prostitution.<\/p>\n

From Jan. 1 through Jan. 10, 2013, while Roy was in jail on related state charges, he called an individual several times and had that person access online accounts and storage services belonging to Roy and Creason in order to erase evidence related to these charges.<\/p>\n

The jury found Roy not guilty of sex trafficking and attempted sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; and possessing and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.<\/p>\n

Creason, aka Kitty Amor, age 19, of Decatur, Ill., previously pleaded guilty to using a facility in interstate commerce for an illegal activity and awaits sentencing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
