Today a federal grand jury in Milwaukee returned a two count indictment
charging Paul Carter, aka Pimpin’ Paul, with sex trafficking offenses
dating from 2012 through 2013, the Justice Department announced.
Carter, 44, of Milwaukee, is charged with one count of sex trafficking
of an adult female by force, threats of force, fraud and coercion.
Carter is also charged with one count of sex trafficking of a minor.
Carter allegedly used force, threats of force, fraud and coercion to
cause the victim to engage in a commercial sex act while knowing that
the victim was under the age of 18. If convicted, Carter faces a
statutory maximum sentence of life in prison on each charge.
The case was investigated by the Human Trafficking Task Force for the
Eastern District of Wisconsin, which includes law enforcement officers
from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Wisconsin Division of
Criminal Investigation and the Milwaukee Police Department. The case is
being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Karine Moreno-Taxman of the
Eastern District of Wisconsin and Trial Attorney Daniel H. Weiss of the
Civil Rights Division's Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit.
An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
