Sex trafficker gets 30 years for operating prostitution ring

BOSTON >> A federal court judge handed down a 30-year prison sentence to a man investigators say operated one of the most violent sex trafficking rings in Boston in the last decade.

Twenty-eight year old Raymond Jeffries was sentenced Thursday in Boston. Authorities say he ran a large-scale sex trafficking ring that forced teens and young women into prostitution through intimidation and preying on their vulnerabilities.

Authorities say at least 20 women — some teenagers — were forced into prostitution by Jeffries in a number of states from 2006 until May 2014.

Prosecutors say Jeffries also pleaded guilty to charges that he ordered a hit on a partner that he believed was cooperating with authorities. The victim survived.

Jeffries also has been ordered to undergo sex offender counseling.

    The article indicate the accused as operating a “most violent sex trafficking ring”. Wondering what he will be charge with and whether his crime is non-violent thereby qualifying him for early release consistent this Administration’s policy should he be convicted and sentenced?

    This guy is 28 years old and has been running this business for ten years?
