Brooklyn Man Forced Teen Rape Victim To Prostitute Herself: DA

EAST NEW YORK, BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn man stands accused of enslaving a 14-year-old girl, forced her to have sex with strangers for money, and pocketing the profits, prosecutors said.

Travis Walker, 28, was charged with sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and rape in Brooklyn Criminal Court Tuesday after he raped, beat and sold a child, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.

Walker sexually abused the young girl and forced her to walk the streets late at night to proposition potential customers for three weeks between May 25 and June 18, prosecutors said.

The girl was also forced to have sex with guests at a bachelor party in a Williamsburg Hotel, prosecutors said.

Another woman employed by Walker helped the teen escape when she learned the girl’s age, said prosecutors. An aunt spotted the girl walking alone on the street and called 911 and police, prosecutors said.

Walker faces up to 25 years in prison and will be ordered to register as a sex offender if convicted of the top charge, prosecutors said.

The East New York man was held on a $300,000 bail and ordered to return to court on Aug. 19, said prosecutors.
