Cross-Country Pimps Charged in Sex Trafficking, Prostitution Scheme

A Germantown man and a woman from Illinois could face life in prison stemming from sex-trafficking charges tied to an interstate prostitution scheme, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Monday.

Jean Claude Roy, 31, of Germantown, and Brittney Creason, 19, of Decatur, IL, were indicted Wednesday in federal court.

Prosecutors said that Roy (aka "Dredd the Don,” and “Dreddy”) and Creason (aka "Kitty Amor") used violence to force women into prostitution. The women were photographed for online prostitution ads.

Prosecutors claimed in the 12-count indictment that Roy forced a female victim to have sex with him while Creason held her down.

Here’s the timeline of events outlined in the indictment:

August-September 2012—Roy, using a gun, forced a person into prostitution and transported the person across state lines to engage in prostitution.

December 2012—Threatened with physical force and death, females from Illinois and North Carolina were forced into prostitution and were featured in online prostitution ads.

•  Dec. 9-14: Prosecutors said Creason recruited a woman using Facebook. Roy bought a bus ticket for the woman to travel from Illinois to Washington, DC. The woman was taken to a Maryland hotel, where her money was taken from her. When she told Creason and Roy she didn’t want to prostitute, Roy threatened to kill her family and destroyed her cell phone, prosecutors said.
• Dec. 17-20: A female recruited by Roy at a North Carolina gas station was forced to have sex with Roy, while Creason held her down, prosecutors said. Roy pointed a gun at the female when she tried to leave the hotel and then forced her to engage in prostitution.
• Dec. 18-24: A female lured by Creason and Roy from Illinois to Maryland was forced into prostitution. When she said she wanted to leave, Creason ripped out her hair extensions, prosecutors said.

January 2013—Prosecutors claimed that while Roy was in jail on related state charges, he asked a person on the outside to get rid of evidence by accessing online accounts and storage services belonging to him and Creason.

Roy and Creason were indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore. 

Roy has also been charged with sex trafficking and attempted sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; interstate transportation for prostitution; possessing and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence; and witness and evidence tampering. 

Creason was arrested Monday in Las Vegas, where she was being held on unrelated charges.
