"Oakland police say they adults pressured the girl into sex work, with Nelson allegedly "assisting" the trafficker, who hasn't been charged, court records show. Nelson's role included stealing "clothing and condoms" from a Target for the girl to use. The girl told police she was paid $100 for someone to look at her feet but wasn't sexually abused during the ordeal, authorities said."
"A woman has been charged with pandering a 15-year-old girl who was trafficked after leaving her group home. Kamaria Nelson, 25, was charged with pandering and robbing the girl, who police say left her group home last year in the company of another teen, two women, and an adult who allegedly coerced her into prostitution."
Kamaria Nelson, 25, faces charges of pandering and robbery involving a 15-year-old girl who left her group home and was coerced into prostitution by multiple adults. Police report that Nelson assisted the primary trafficker by stealing supplies like clothing and condoms from retail stores for the victim's use. The girl earned $100 for a non-sexual act but was not sexually abused during the trafficking situation. When the victim requested to return to her group home, Nelson allegedly struck her and stole her belongings. A social worker reported the case to Oakland police in December, leading to Nelson's arrest in late January. She pleaded not guilty and was released on $10,000 bail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 9.
