SAN DIEGO – Sedrick Shamall Jackson was sentenced in federal court today to 260 months in prison for sex trafficking a young woman through force, fraud, and coercion following a years-long pattern of manipulation, violence, and exploitation. According to court documents and evidence presented to the court, Jackson recruited the victim when she was 18 years old and quickly established a controlling relationship that evolved into commercial sexual exploitation. Jackson taught the victim how to engage in prostitution, dictated where and how she worked, controlled all earnings generated from her commercial sex acts, and subjected her to repeated acts of physical violence, when she failed to meet his demands.
