"The defendant's exploitation and trafficking of an innocent teenager can only be described as depravity in its most vile form. Prosecutors have charged him with sex trafficking, sexual exploitation of a child and interstate prostitution. Court documents allege he forced the teenager to have sex with multiple clients in New York City and in several other states."
"Prosecutors and court filings describe a video that allegedly shows Francois striking the girl and hurling degrading remarks at her while he allegedly orders her to 'break your bones.' Authorities say sexually explicit images and at least one video linked to Francois's iCloud account were used in online prostitution ads, and that one clip allegedly records him directing the teen during sexual acts."
Jimmy 'Bentley Bugz' Francois, a 37-year-old rapper, was arrested in Miami and extradited to New York to face serious federal charges including sex trafficking of a minor, sexual exploitation of a child, and interstate prostitution. Prosecutors allege he forced a 16-year-old girl to engage in sexual acts with multiple clients across New York and several other states. Court filings describe video evidence allegedly showing Francois physically abusing the victim and directing her during sexual acts. Sexually explicit images and videos linked to his iCloud account were reportedly used in online prostitution advertisements. He is scheduled for arraignment in Brooklyn federal court. The charges carry potential lengthy prison sentences under federal statutes governing child sex trafficking.
