Baltimore, MD – A federal grand jury has returned a superseding indictment against Rayvon O. Archibald, a/k/a “P Money,” “Keyvon M. Malone,” “Keyvon Smith,” and “Snoopy,” age 24, of Boston, Massachusetts, and Jonathan M. Went, a/k/a “Jon Maxx,” and “Max Out,” age 30, of Massachusetts and Gwynn Oak, Maryland.
The superseding indictment, announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police; and Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger, charges Archibald and Went with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a child, sex trafficking of a child, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in prostitution, and kidnapping.
According to the superseding indictment, on March 5, 2014, Archibald encountered Girl 1, a female under the age of 14, in New York City and provided her with alcohol and drugs. On March 6, 2014, Archibald transported Girl 1, against her will, traveling by bus from New York to White Marsh, Maryland, then by taxi to Went’s apartment in Gwynn Oak.
The superseding indictment alleges that Archibald and Went used the internet to purchase and post advertisements for commercial sex in Maryland, New York, and elsewhere. They communicated with potential commercial sex customers and made appointments for Girl 1 by telephone and text messages; took money from customers in exchange for making Girl 1 available to engage in sex acts; and provided condoms to Girl 1 and the customers to facilitate sex acts involving Girl 1.
Archibald and Went face up to life in prison for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a child; a minimum of 15 years and up to life in prison for sex trafficking of a child; a minimum of 10 years in prison and up to life in prison for transportation of a minor with intent to engage in prostitution; and a minimum of 25 years and up to life in prison for kidnapping.
An initial appearance on the superseding indictment has not yet been scheduled. Archibald and Went were previously ordered to be detained pending trial.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
The case was investigated by the FBI-led Maryland Child Exploitation Task Force (MCETF), created in 2010 to combat child prostitution, with members from 10 state and federal law enforcement agencies.
