A San Diego Man pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday for engaging in the sex trafficking of women in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Virginia.
Davon Dunn, 30, also known as “Lil Kant,'' admitted to “knowingly recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, and maintaining an adult female, knowing and in reckless disregard of the fact that means of force, threats of force, fraud, coercion, and any combination of such means would be used on the victim to engage in commercial sex acts,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Dunn admitted to harboring a victim in an apartment in Riverside County between April 2020 and January 2021, where he provided transportation to travel to and from “dates”, including “dates” in San Diego County. He also admitted that the victim shared the proceeds of her commercial sex acts with him.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Dunn used his cellular phone to post, repost, and “bump” commercial sex advertisements featuring the victim.
His plea agreement also included admissions to transporting two other women from San Diego to Massachusetts, Virginia, and Nevada for commercial sex.
Prosecutors say he physically struck two of the women to force them to engage in prostitution.
These are crimes that haunt victims for a very long time,” said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “We will seek justice for them in hopes that it will ease their suffering.”
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 21, 2023, at 9 a.m. before the U.S. District Robert S. Huie. Dunn has been in custody since his arrest in December 2022.
