JAMAICA, QUEENS -- A Queens pimp admitted to forcing a runaway girl into sex and prostitution when she was only 14 years old, prosecutors said
Reagan "Flex" Conception, 29, pleaded guilty on Thursday to sex trafficking the then-14-year-old for two months before she was freed in November 2016, said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
"(Conception) profited from prostitution by forcing a teenage girl into having sex dates with men for money," Brown said.
