A Montgomery man has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay more than $950,000 in restitution for sex trafficking scheme involving forced prostitution, according to the U.S. Attorney.
In June, a jury convicted Mitchell of sex trafficking five victims by force, fraud and coercion. The jury also found him guilty of sex trafficking a minor, and three counts of coercing and enticing an individual to travel in interstate commerce for prostitution purposes. According to the evidence presented in court, defendant Lonnie Mitchell targeted vulnerable victims who struggled with substance abuse issues, and then manipulated their substance abuse problems for his benefit. He increased the victims’ use of heroin and encouraged them to use it intravenously.
