RICHMOND, VA—Korey Jermaine Reynolds,
25, of Charlotte, North Carolina, pleaded guilty today to transporting a
13-year-old girl across state lines to engage in prostitution.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Michael F.A. Morehart, Special Agent
in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, made the announcement after the
plea was accepted by United States District Judge Henry E. Hudson.
Korey Reynolds was charged with
transporting a minor across state lines for purposes of prostitution in a
criminal complaint on June 12, 2012. Reynolds faces a minimum term of 10 years
in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison when he is sentenced on
October 2, 2012.
In a statement of facts filed with his
plea agreement, Reynolds admitted that in May 2012 he transported three
females, including a 13-year-old girl, from Charlotte, North Carolina, to
Richmond, Virginia, with the intention that the females engage in prostitution
while in Virginia. Reynolds and the two other females met the juvenile in
Miami, Florida, and encouraged her to come to Charlotte, where they were
living. The juvenile traveled to Charlotte sometime in February or March and
engaged in prostitution while in Charlotte, providing the majority of her
earnings to Reynolds. In May 2012, the juvenile and the other females traveled
with Reynolds to Virginia, where they continued engaging in acts of
prostitution and continued providing their earnings to Reynolds.
This case was investigated by the
Henrico County Division of Police and the FBI’s Richmond Field Office.
Assistant United States Attorney Jamie L. Mickelson and Special Assistant
United States Attorney Mike Feinmel of the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office
are prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.
