New Orleans Man Pleads Guilty to Promoting Prostitution in Louisiana.
A New Orleans man has pleaded guilty to using the internet to promote prostitution in Louisiana, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
David Michael White, Jr., a/k/a ‘Prince Loyalty,’ age 33, of New Orleans, admitted to operating a prostitution business based in the city.
To recruit customers, White used the internet website Backpage to post ‘escort’ ads and market women for prostitution. White faces up to five years imprisonment and/or a fine of not more than $250,000 for each count.
White received all the proceeds from the commercial sex acts both victims performed as a result of his Backpage postings. He also advertised a 19-year-old female victim from New Orleans on Backpage in January 2013.
The 19-year-old victim from Shreveport was picked up from the bus station by White, who told her he was a pimp. White persuaded and enticed the victim to engage in commercial sex acts for his personal financial benefit.
White’s guilty plea is a significant blow to those involved in human trafficking and prostitution in New Orleans. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations were instrumental in investigating this matter.
White is set to be sentenced on February 16, 2017. He faces up to five years imprisonment and/or a fine of not more than $250,000, up to three years of supervised release following imprisonment, plus a mandatory special assessment of $200.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Julia K. Evans is in charge of the prosecution.
