3-year sentence handed down for pimping
A Northern California man was convicted and sentenced Friday to three years in state prison for pimping a woman while he was babysitting their child, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.
Marius Eugene Prince, 23, of Crockett had pleaded guilty earlier that day in Orange County Superior Court to pimping and pandering.
In September 2015, Prince made the woman perform sexual acts for his benefit. He pimped her on websites known for prostitution, authorities said.
Prince made the woman perform sex acts even after she had a caesarean section, authorities said.
On Sept. 9, 2015, Prince took the woman to a hotel in Huntington Beach so she could have sex for money, but the person he arranged the meeting with turned out to be an undercover officer. Members of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force arrested Prince when he arrived at the hotel.
