Alleged Pimp and Sex Worker Charged With Robbing and Pepper-Spraying 69-Year-Old Man at Oakland Hotel
Briefly

In a disturbing incident, a 69-year-old man alleges he was entrapped by an 18-year-old sex worker, Janiya Brown Lee, and her 31-year-old pimp, Nicholas Lewis. The man claims he was flagged down for help but was assaulted, robbed, and pepper-sprayed by the duo. While Brown Lee faces multiple charges, including felony assault, the victim asserts he was not seeking sex. Lewis has a history with law enforcement for similar crimes, as evidenced by investigators' prior knowledge and text messages to Brown Lee indicating his involvement in pimping.
The victim testified that Brown Lee 'flagged [him] down' for a ride and propositioned him for sex, but he resisted, stating, 'I'm a married man.'
Prosecutors presented texts from Lewis to Brown Lee, indicating a prior involvement in pimping with phrases like, 'I always have hella [sex workers].'
