A Lockport, New York man has been indicted on drug and sex trafficking charges. Oliver Kimmons, 49, was charged in a 13-count superseding indictment with possession and distribution of heroin and fentanyl, maintaining a drug premises, and sex trafficking.
The indictment, which was announced by Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr., carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum of life, and a $250,000 fine.
According to the indictment, Kimmons solicited young, opiate-addicted women to have sex with paying customers in exchange for heroin and fentanyl. The victims were driven to farms, dairies, and Indian Reservations in Western New York where they engaged in sex acts with paying customers.
Kimmons collected the money from customers and then ‘paid’ his victims in heroin. The defendant also had sex with the victims in exchange for drugs.
The investigation into Kimmons’ activities was led by the Niagara County Sherriff’s Office and the Niagara County Drug Task Force, as well as the Erie County Sherriff’s Office, the Lockport Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations.
Kimmons was initially indicted on drug charges in March 2016 and has been in custody since his arraignment on those charges. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges included in the superseding indictment on March 23, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
