Three men who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking teenage girls in Brooklyn and North Carolina will spend years behind bars.
The trio includes Bronx resident Mylord Williams, Nassau County resident Terrel Chery and Kinard Oliver, of Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office says they transported at least three girls, aged 15 to 17, for prostitution between 2022 and 2024.
In addition to sex trafficking, Chery and Oliver also pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges.
Chery received a 12-year prison sentence, while Oliver was given eight and Williams received six.
Each were also given five years of supervised release and are required to register as sex offenders.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez reaffirmed law enforcement’s commitment to protecting victims of sexual predators in a release announcing the sentencing.
“My office will continue to stand with survivors and hold traffickers fully accountable for the pain and harm they cause through this type of exploitation,” he said.
