Green Bay Man Sentenced to 13 Years in Federal Prison for Sex Trafficking
A Green Bay man has been sentenced to 13 years in federal prison for sex trafficking, according to a press release from the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
Darryl K. Green, 53, was sentenced on June 25, 2021, by Senior District Judge William C. Griesbach. Between January 2020 and August 2020, Green recruited, enticed, and forced dozens of women to engage in acts of prostitution under the threat of physical force.
Green also manipulated his victims’ controlled substance addictions to keep them in the prostitution trade. He pled guilty earlier this year to a charge of ‘Conspiracy to Commit Sex Trafficking’ contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1594(c), 1591(a)(1), and 1591(b)(1).
In handing down the sentence, Judge Griesbach noted the extremely serious nature of the charge, calling it an ‘astounding offense in many ways.’ He further cited a strong need to protect the public and to deter Green and others from engaging in sex trafficking in the future.
Following his release from prison, Green will spend 10 years on supervised release. This case was investigated by the Green Bay Police Department and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, with the assistance of the Green Bay office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Erica J. Lounsberry and Daniel R. Humble. Green’s sentence serves as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of sex trafficking and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.
The investigation and prosecution of sex trafficking cases require a collaborative effort from law enforcement agencies and prosecutors. In this case, the Green Bay Police Department and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, worked closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to bring Green to justice.
The 13-year sentence imposed on Green is a significant consequence for his crimes. It demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement and the judicial system to protecting victims of sex trafficking and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
