U.S. Jury Convicts Bolingbrook Man of Sex Trafficking Four Victims, Including a Minor

12/10/2013

 
A federal jury today convicted a Bolingbrook man of running a sex trafficking ring between at least late 2009 and November 2010 that forced into prostitution at least four victims, including a minor who was 17 at the time. The defendant, McKENZIE CARSON, was found guilty on one count of sex trafficking a minor by force, fraud, and coercion, and three counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud,  and coercion. The jury deliberated less than two hours following a trial
that  began Dec. 2 in U.S. District Court. The guilty verdict was announced by Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney 
 for the Northern District of Illinois, and Robert J. Holley, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of investigation.
