A Toledo-based pimp who was apprehended in Tipp City while holding a woman against her will for purposes of sex trafficking pleaded guilty on Monday to two felony charges.
Rodney Brown, 33, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio to being a felon in possession of a firearm and violating the Mann Act, a law used to combat forced prostitution, said Mike Tobin, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
Brown, who will be sentenced in May, faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Last April, Brown was arrested by Tipp City police following a traffic stop on Interstate 75. Police found that Brown was holding 20-year-old Michigan resident Selma Hasanovic against her will and was taking her to Indianapolis to force her to have sex with strangers for money.
