Man Gets Maximum Sentence In Oakland County Sex Trafficking Ring

OAKLAND COUNTY, MI — A Pontiac man was sentenced to prison Wednesday for his role in prostituting and sex trafficking numerous young women across Oakland County, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said.

Dallas Ephraim Jordan-King, 23, received the maximum sentence on all charges, including 100 months to 15 years on one count of forced labor/commercial sex, 85 months to 20 years on one count of child sexually abusive material – production (served consecutively) and two years on one count of felony firearm, a two-year felony. He must also register as a sex offender.

A judge also ordered Jordan-King to pay $27,000 in restitution to a sex trafficking victim, including $20,000 of proceeds from commercial sex the victim was forced to hand over to him, officials said.

"Our partnerships with local law enforcement agencies make it possible to pursue these predators and hold them accountable wherever they are operating in Michigan," Nessel said. "Jordan-King victimized minors and multiple young women for financial gain, and I would like to thank Judge Cunningham for recognizing the severity of the threat the defendant posed and the gravity of his crimes."

Officials said Jordan-King forced at least nine women into commercial sex between July 2018 and October 2019 throughout Oakland County, including in Auburn Hills, Pontiac and Madison Heights, officials said.

Auburn Hills Police launched the investigation into the prostitution ring shortly after, officials said. Jordan-King was arrested in 2020 and was charged with seven felony counts.

"It is important to hold human traffickers responsible, and to take them out of position to violate anyone else," Oakland County Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard said. "Partnership on these cases are critical and I am proud of our team and our partners who worked so diligently on this investigation and prosecution. Human trafficking is a modern-day scourge that must be ended."
