Oakland man gets probation for pimping woman struggling to find housing
"I was cold, I was hungry, I didn't want to stay in my car too much longer, she testified. Later, after she agreed to be a sex worker for him, he pulled a gun on her during a dispute, she testified."
"Devontay Williams, 33, pleaded no contest to pimping and gun possession charges as part of a plea deal with Alameda County prosecutors. If he violates his probation, he could be sentenced up to six years and eight months in prison, a judge warned him before he was sentenced."
"the alleged victim testified that she met Williams in person on Valentine's Day that year, and he offered to let her live in his Oakland apartment... police say they stayed together for about 10 days before he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence against her."
Devontay Williams, 33, pleaded no contest to pimping and gun possession charges in Alameda County. The victim testified she met Williams on TikTok while living in her car and accepted his offer to stay in his Oakland apartment. After moving in, he recruited her into prostitution and threatened her with a gun during a dispute. The victim's testimony was contentious, with her objecting to court procedures and verbally confronting the judge and defense attorney. Williams was arrested after approximately 10 days together on suspicion of domestic violence. His probation includes a stay-away order and $300 restitution fine, with potential imprisonment of six years and eight months if violated.
