A Randolph man has been indicted on multiple sex trafficking charges connected to a prostitution operation around the Greater Boston area and Cape Cod.

Marvin Pompilus, (a.k.a. “Kise”), 31, was indicted Monday by a statewide Grand Jury on 18 counts of trafficking of persons for sexual servitude and 12 counts of deriving support from prostitution in connection with trafficking multiple women for sex, according to the Attorney General’s office.

“We allege that this defendant targeted and exploited women and arranged for them to provide sexual services in three different counties for his own profit,” said Attorney General Maura Healey said in a release. “Our office is committed to prosecuting human traffickers who exploit and abuse others for their own gain.”

An investigation into Pompilus began in May after the case was referred by the Randolph Police Department. Pompilus was arrested on Aug. 3 in Randolph by Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office along with the Randolph Police.

Authorities allege that Pompilus targeted and recruited multiple women over a two-year period to provide commercial sexual services at hotels and other locations in Randolph, Boston, Braintree and Hyannis. Pompilus would have the women post ads online offering sexual services in exchange for money. Pompilus allegedly kept the money from these sexual encounters, and would provide the women with drugs instead.

This indictment is being handled through the AG’s dedicated Human Trafficking Division, which focuses on policy, prevention and criminal prosecutions. Through that division, the AG’s Office has charged more than 20 individuals, including Pompilus, in connection with human trafficking since the law went into effect in 2012.
