announcement Hawaii Man Sentenced to Life in Prison and to Pay Over $1M in Restitution for Sex Trafficking Three Adult Women and One Minor Friday, November 14, 2025 Share Facebook X LinkedIn Email For Immediate Release Office of Public Affairs Isaiah McCoy, 37, of Honolulu, Hawaii, was sentenced yesterday to life in prison after a jury found McCoy guilty in April of four counts of sex trafficking three adults and one minor, two counts of obstructing a sex trafficking investigation, seven counts of interstate and foreign travel or transportation in aid of
racketeering enterprises, and one count of interstate travel for prostitution purposes. Additionally, the court ordered McCoy to pay the victims $1,017,241.00 in restitution.“The significant sentence imposed by the court reflects the egregiousness of the defendant’s conduct in abusing and preying on multiple women and girls,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. The Justice Department is committed to fully enforcing our federal human trafficking statutes to hold offenders accountable and to seek justice for survivors of these heinous crimes.”“The sentencing of Mr. McCoy is a testament to HSI’s zero tolerance for those who
engage in sex trafficking in Hawaii,” said Special Agent in Charge Lucy Cabral-DeArmas of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Hawaii. “McCoy is a predator who left countless victims in his path while he sought to enrich himself at their expense. HSI will aggressively pursue those, like McCoy, who seek to exploit vulnerable women and girls and mute their voices while believing they will not be held accountable.”The evidence presented at the 12-day trial earlier this year showed that McCoy compelled victims to commit hundreds of commercial sex acts between 2019 and 2021.
