EAST HARTFORD/HARTFORD, CT — A Hartford man is still in custody after state police accused him of trafficking women out of East Hartford for "commercial sex acts" in several Connecticut towns.

According to Connecticut State Police, Allen David Lozada, 34, of New Britain Avenue, Hartford, was charged Dec. 29, 2025, with second-degree criminal mischief, coercion (three counts), trafficking in persons (three counts), and two counts of second-degree assault.

He was initially taken into custody on $750,000, and his bond was increased to $1 million after a Dec. 30, 2025, court appearance, according to online court records.

Lozada will next appear in Hartford Superior Court on Jan. 29.

Police said the charges stem from an investigation that began in July 2025 involving the East Hartford Police Department and the state police's Statewide Organized Crime Investigative Task Force.

According to police, the investigation revealed Lozada trafficked multiple adult female victims in East Hartford to other towns for "commercial sex acts."

Police said the towns where the women were trafficked included Chester, Windsor Locks, Groton, and New London.

State police said Lozada used threats of violence and physical force in trafficking the women.
