9/15/2015 – Dallas, TX — A federal judge is sending a clear message to pimps and human traffickers – and the message is that if you sell our teen daughters instead of selling drugs, then you’ll risk very little time in prison for that crime.
JohnTV has previously reported on scumbag pimp Justin Dishon Brathwaite, 27, and how he transported and coerced an Oklahoma City teen into prostituting for him in Texas in 2012.
Brathwaite was indicted in federal court after a prostitution sting identified him as the teen girl’s pimp.
As a result of his federal charges, Brathwaite eventually admitted to knowingly transporting the female from Oklahoma to Texas with the express intent of forcing her to prostitute for his financial gain.
In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed not to file additional criminal charges and not to seek more than 10-years in prison, a fine greater than $250,000 and no more than three years of supervised probation upon his release.
On March 3rd of this year the FBI distributed a press release proclaiming victory and stating Brathwaite was looking at a decade behind bars.
Apparently federal Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn doesn’t really see the harm in pimping out our youth and decided a decade behind bars was way too harsh – even though the law gives her every opportunity to keep pimps like Brathwaite off our streets.
According to court documents, on July 15th Brathwaite was sentenced to a mere 24 months in prison (20% of the allowable sentence), one year of supervision upon release, no fine and a $10,000 personal money judgement (as a result of an asset forfeiture).
