The article details the troubling case of Jordan Townsend and Jane Doe, who first encountered each other when she was 13 and he was arrested for pimping. Despite his imprisonment, Townsend managed to contact her upon his release, reportedly tracking her down in Oakland. After forcing her into sex work, he was arrested again. Doe’s testimony is critical, though defense claims her statements are uncorroborated and question her credibility from past incidents. Townsend faces serious charges, including trafficking and pimping, as the case unfolds.
Prosecutors say Townsend made good on his promise, tracking Doe down to a known prostitution market in Oakland where she had been after leaving a foster home.
His lawyer argued that the case is largely based on uncorroborated statements by Doe, who had stolen a car in a prior incident involving Townsend.
