Hamden Woman Charged With Child Sex Trafficking Offenses: Feds

HAMDEN, CT — A Hamden woman faces federal charges in connection with the sex trafficking of teenaged girls, according to authorities.

Jamira Denise Myers, also known as “Chocolate,” 42, of Hamden, has been charged by federal criminal complaint with sex trafficking and attempted sex trafficking of minors, forced labor and attempted forced labor of minors, and obstruction and attempted obstruction of sex trafficking enforcement, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut David X. Sullivan and Michael J. Krol, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), New England, announced Wednesday in a news release.

Prosecutors said that in July 2025, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported to the New Haven Police Department that images of a 16-year-old girl had been seen on skipthegames.com, a website that “advertises commercial sex services,” according to the news release.

“An HSI Task Force investigation revealed that Myers used the website to post advertisements for sexual services involving the 16-year-old girl and at least four other minor girls between the ages of 14 and 17,” officials wrote in the news release. “Myers arranged meetings between clients and the minors and transported the minors to the meetings, including hotel rooms she rented. Myers initially instructed the minors to rob clients upon meeting them, splitting the stolen money with the minors. She later directed at least one minor girl to engage in sexual acts with clients.”

Myers was arrested on Oct. 10, and is currently detained. If convicted of the most serious charges, she faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years and a maximum term of life in prison, according to officials.
