A federal grand jury in Milwaukee has returned a two-count indictment against Paul Carter, aka Pimpin’ Paul, for sex trafficking offenses dating from 2012 through 2013.
The indictment alleges that Carter, 44, of Milwaukee, used force, threats of force, fraud, and coercion to cause the victims to engage in commercial sex acts.
Carter is charged with one count of sex trafficking of an adult female by force, threats of force, fraud, and coercion, and one count of sex trafficking of a minor.
If convicted, Carter faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison on each charge.
The crimes allegedly took place between 2012 and 2013.
The case was investigated by the Human Trafficking Task Force for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, which includes law enforcement officers from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Milwaukee Police Department.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Karine Moreno-Taxman of the Eastern District of Wisconsin and Trial Attorney Daniel H. Weiss of the Civil Rights Division’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit.
An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This case highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in combating human trafficking.
