\"\"A federal court in Brooklyn unsealed a five-count indictment charging Justin Dixon, a member of the Crips street gang, with sex trafficking, coercion, and enticement of a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor and felon in possession, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2023, Dixon allegedly used violence and threats of violence to compel the commission of commercial sex acts by a 14-year-old minor for his financial benefit, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon transported the minor victim \u2013 as well as other women \u2013 to a small geographical area off of Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn, which is known as the \u201cPenn Track\u201d or the \u201cBlade.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Dixon would then force the women to engage in prostitution and demanded that the proceeds of prostitution be turned over to him.\u00a0 Any resistance from the victims was met with violence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon used social media and other internet applications to establish relationships with potential victims, groom them and manipulate them into working for him as prostitutes.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The 14-year-old minor was forced to live in a Staten Island house, along with Dixon and various other women.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"In that house, Dixon continued to enslave the women by forcing them to clean the house, cook for him and bathe him.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The defendant would not allow the women to be clothed inside the house and would physically punish them if they disobeyed these rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation revealed that the defendant would call Jane Doe \u201ctiny,\u201d presumably due to her petite figure as a small fourteen-year-old. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon constantly overfed Jane Doe and consistently told her that she needed to eat more to look older than her current age. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The defendant also told Jane Doe he was arranging a trip to Florida for Jane Doe to have plastic surgery, including breast implants, to make her appear older than her current age.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 If convicted of sex trafficking of a minor through force, fraud and coercion, the defendant faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years\u2019 imprisonment and a maximum of life in prison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dixon, 32, is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a victim or have information, there are several ways to contact the FBI: send a tip online at https:\/\/tips.fbi.gov<\/a> or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative led by the Department of Justice to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.\u00a0 Led by United States Attorneys\u2019 Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.\u00a0 For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit\u00a0www.projectsafechildhood.gov<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S Attorneys Lauren Elbert and Lorena Michelen are prosecuting the government\u2019s case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
