A Richmond man has been sentenced to 10 years for sex trafficking a minor and possessing child pornography, federal authorities announced.
Kealeon Shakur Dyer-Hogan, 23, was sentenced to 120 months in prison on charges of sex trafficking a minor and possession of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.
The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney.
The investigation revealed that Dyer-Hogan had befriended a 16-year-old high school sophomore and began to pick her up after her school day in his SUV. One day the 16-year-old girl entered Dyer-Hogan’s vehicle after school and saw a minor boy she did not know sitting in the back. Dyer-Hogan instructed her to get in the back, and once in the back, the boy pulled down his pants. Dyer-Hogan filmed the incident on his cell phone, ignoring the 16-year-old girl’s request to stop recording.
Later that day, Dyer-Hogan asked the 16-year-old girl to work for him as a prostitute, which she rejected. The 16-year-old eventually found one of the videos, which Dyer-Hogan had assured her were deleted, posted on social media.
After Dyer-Hogan’s arrest, police found on his phone five of his video clips depicting sexual activity involving minors.
The jury convicted Dyer-Hogan of possessing child pornography. After his conviction, he was allowed to remain out of custody while awaiting further court proceedings.
On July 22, 2021, nine days after the jury convicted Dyer-Hogan and while he was awaiting further court proceedings, Dyer-Hogan was arrested again. This time, police found a 15-year-old girl in his car. The government charged Dyer-Hogan with sex trafficking of the 15-year-old minor, and he pleaded guilty to the charge on October 20, 2021.
In addition to imposing a 120-month prison term, United States District Judge Maxine M. Chesney sentenced Dyer-Hogan to a five-year term of supervision upon his release from prison, ordered him to pay $5,000 in restitution, and ordered Dyer-Hogan to stay away from and have no contact with the victims of his crimes.
