Tyree Eugene Rideaux, Sex Trafficking of a Minor, Arizona 2024

A 31-year-old Nevada man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for sex trafficking a minor in Arizona.

Tyree Eugene Rideaux, of Henderson, Nevada, was sentenced on Tuesday by United States District Judge Diane J. Humetewa to 132 months in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release.

Rideaux pleaded guilty to Sex Trafficking of a Minor on September 16, 2024.

According to court documents, Rideaux met the 16-year-old minor, Jane Doe, at a party in Phoenix a short time before August 15, 2021. Rideaux told Jane Doe to pretend that she was 18 years old and then placed her on the 'blade,' an area in Inglewood, California, known for high rates of prostitution.

Rideaux assigned a fictitious name to Jane Doe and posted commercial sex advertisements of her online for sex buyers. Jane Doe gave the money she earned to Rideaux, as he directed her to do.

On August 15, 2021, Jane Doe convinced a sex buyer to take her to a hospital where she could notify police and family, who returned her home.

“Predators who traffic in teenagers and force them into prostitution to support the trafficker’s own lifestyle are deserving of the harshest sentences,” stated Rachel C. Hernandez, Acting United States Attorney.
