A Boston man was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for coercing three women, including a teenager, to engage in prostitution, promising them a better life, federal authorities said. Jimall Dawn Brown, 35, was sentenced Monday to 11 years and three months, in prison and five years of supervised release by US District Court Judge Leo Sorokin, Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy’s office said in a press release. Brown exploited, sex trafficked, and abused three young women, including a child, according to the statement.
“Jimall Brown exploited, trafficked and abused three young women, including a child, for his own financial gain. It was imperative FBI Boston’s Child Exploitation – Human Trafficking Task Force swiftly take him “off the street,” said Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division in the release. “Unequivocally, our communities are safer with Brown behind bars, locked away where he can’t victimize anyone else.

In 2022, Brown trafficked a 17-year-old girl he met on social media and convinced her to fly to Boston with promises of a “better lifestyle,” authorities said. He coerced her to engage in commercial sex acts and pocketed all of the money, officials said in the statement.
Brown transported the teenager to Georgia and later to Nevada, again arranging for her to engage in commercial sex in those locations and keeping all the money, authorities said. “No one, especially no child, should have to fear this type of horrific conduct, and our office and our state and federal partners will not rest while human trafficking remains such a pernicious and destructive problem in our society,” Levy said in the release. In 2019, Brown tricked a woman from Connecticut into sex trafficking under a similar ruse of providing a “luxurious life,” authorities said.
In 2016, Brown coerced a woman from Pennsylvania to meet him under the guise that he was recruiting her for a modeling agency.
