Defendant Davis (a.k.a. "Magnificent"), a resident of New York, pleaded guilty in a case involving forced prostitution of minors, and adult women in New York, Connecticut, and Texas. Working as a pimp, Davis forced girls as young as 12 to work as strippers, dancers, and prostitutes for upwards of twelve hours a day. After each shift, Davis confiscated all of the earnings of the victims. When the girls and women were not working, Davis confined them into a locked house in Queens, New York. To maintain control over the victims, Davis repeatedly assaulted those who broke house "rules." In one instance, Davis assaulted a 17-year-old victim by placing a handgun in the girl's mouth.
Davis pleaded guilty to one count of sex trafficking, and was sentenced to over twenty-four years imprisonment.
A fund for victims was created from Davis' profits.
