DETROIT, MI – A Detroit area pimp who ran a prostitution ring across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties has been sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison, authorities said.

Jahan Satati Green, 38, of Inkster, was convicted in Wayne County Circuit Court last month of five felonies:

• Two counts of Prostitution/Transporting a Person, a felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison for a habitual offender; and,
• Two counts of Prostitution/Accepting Earnings, a felony punishable by up to 40 years in prison for a habitual offender; and,
• One count of Criminal Enterprises – Conducting, a felony punishable by up 40 years in prison for a habitual offender.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette today announced Jahan Satati Green, 38, of Inkster, was sentenced to 20-40 years in prison following his conviction on five felonies for running a prostitution ring across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties.

All five of the offenses for which Green was sentenced normally carry a 20-year maximum sentence. However, because of his prior record, Green was sentenced as a third felony offender, which doubles the maximum allowable sentence to up to 40 years, Schuette said.

An investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealed Green had been running an online “escort” operation that was actually a prostitution front since 2006. The government said Green prostituted and assaulted two young victims in particular — on of them for six years.

He also transported or arranged for transportation of the young victims to Detroit-area hotel, then forced them to give him the money they received from their acts of prostitution, the government said.

Green was arrested by Schuette’s Human Trafficking Unit in June 2015.
