Ricky T. Wallace, Sex Trafficking, Rhode Island 2015

A 34-year-old man from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for sex trafficking a 17-year-old girl. Ricky T. Wallace, also known as Justice, was found guilty of conspiracy, sex trafficking of a child, transportation of a minor for sexual activity, and two counts of transportation of an individual for sexual activity.

The 17-year-old victim was driven from Boston to Rhode Island in the early morning hours of August 19, 2014, for the purposes of being trafficked for commercial sexual activity. The young woman was driven to a Pawtucket residence where she was located and rescued six days later by FBI agents and officers from the Pawtucket and Central Falls Police Departments.

According to court documents, Wallace also brought a 20-year-old woman from the Boston area to Rhode Island where she was directed to pose in photographs that were posted on Backpage.com and then offered for commercial sexual activity.

At sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge Mary M. Lisa also ordered Wallace to serve five years supervised release upon completion of his prison sentence and to have no contact, direct or indirect, with the victims.

Wallace’s sentenced is announced by U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha of the District of Rhode Island, Special Agent in Charge Vincent B. Lisi of the FBI’s Boston Field Office and Superintendent Colonel Steven G. O’Donnell of the Rhode Island State Police.

This case is a major priority of the Rhode Island State Police, which targets and prosecutes those who prey on the vulnerability of young girls and women, and force them into trafficking for sex.

Ricky T. Wallace, whose real name is Ricky T. Wallace, will serve 12 years in federal prison followed by five years supervised release. He pleaded guilty on March 23, 2015, and was sentenced on March 23, 2015, in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island.

Wallace’s co-defendants, Kemont Bowie aka Daddy, 34, and Raechyl Spooner aka Kitty, 21, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, are scheduled to be sentenced in September. Bowie pleaded guilty on June 11, 2015, to one count each of conspiracy, sex trafficking of a child, and transportation of a minor for sexual activity.
