Jamaica Pimp Jailed For Prostituting 14-Year-Old Girl: DA
The Jamaica man was sentenced to up to 12 years in prison on Wednesday for forcing the teen into sex and prostitution.
JAMAICA, QUEENS -- A Jamaica man will serve up to 12 years in prison for using threats and violence to force a runaway girl into sex and prostitution when she was just 14 years old, prosecutors said.
Reagan "Flex" Conception, 29, was sentenced on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty in April to sex trafficking the then-14-year-old and forcing her to have sex with him for two months in 2016, said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Conception forced the runaway teen to have sex with himself and other men for money between September and November of that year until she finally managed to escape, Brown said. When she didn't obey him, he threatened and assaulted her.
