Pimp Stung at Tinley Hotel in 2011 Convicted on Sex Trafficking Charges

Fabriel “Face” Delaney

A Michigan man who brought two teen-agers to a Tinley Park hotel to pimp them out at a bachelor party in 2011 and instead found himself in handcuffs was convicted on all charges this week.

Fabriel “Face” Delaney, 28, was found guilty Thursday by a federal jury on charges of sex trafficking by force, fraud, coercion and sex trafficking of minors, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

On July 21, 2011, he drove 17- and 16-year-old Kalamazoo girls to a Tinley Park hotel “expecting to take them to a bachelor party where they would engage in sexual activity with 10 to 12 men and charge between $150 and $300 per customer for various sex acts,” according to the FBI.

A third woman, a 20-year-old, was also in tow, the affidavit said.

But there was no party. In 2010, Illinois State Police pulled over Delaney in Will County where he was driving with three girls to sell them for sex at a hotel in Joliet. One of the girls told FBI agents she had gone on 20 to 24 calls for sex and gave Delaney half the money.

That encounter prompted authorities to begin an investigation and eventually set up a sting operation.

Investigators said he used Internet websites to advertise the prostitution.

Delaney, of Kalamazoo and formerly of Palatine, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison. He’ll be sentenced Dec. 10, according to federal prosecutors.
