Movie Producer Arrested for Operating Prostitution Business
Dillon Jordan, 49, of Lake Arrowhead, California, was arrested today in San Bernardino County, California, and will be presented today in the Central District of California.
According to the indictment, Jordan operated a prostitution business throughout the United States and abroad from 2010 through at least May 2017. He maintained a roster of women who resided around the United States and who, in exchange for payment, performed sexual acts for Jordan’s clients at locations throughout the United States, including the Southern District of New York, and abroad.
Jordan communicated with the clients of his prostitution business by email to coordinate the prostitution services, which included sending to clients photos of women who were available for hire for prostitution services, discussing the price of prostitution services, and overseeing travel logistics for women to travel to engage in prostitution.
Jordan primarily managed the finances of the prostitution business through two front companies – a purported party and event planning company and a movie production company – incorporated in California. He opened multiple bank accounts for these companies, which he used to accept cash, wire, and check payments for prostitution services from clients and to pay for the expenses of the prostitution business, including paying the women for their prostitution services by cash and check.
Jordan is charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Mann Act, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison; one count of enticement, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; one count of use of interstate commerce to promote unlawful activity, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison; and one count of money laundering.
Jordan, 49, of Lake Arrowhead, California, faces a maximum sentence of five to twenty years in prison.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Newark Field Office.
