SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 7 – While the arrest of a Bronx man for sex trafficking was announced by the SDNY US Attorney's Office, that Office has still not provided its exhibits on OneCoin, regarding which promotions continue around the world.

 From the January 7 announcement of the arrest of "DAVID WILLIAMS, a/k/a “Pap,” a/k/a “Pap Avilii,” a/k/a “Daddy,” for operating a sex trafficking enterprise, in connection with which WILLIAMS kidnapped, raped, and trafficked an adult victim (“Victim-1”) and also trafficked a minor victim (“Victim-2”)."

   Williams was presented in the U.S. District Court for the South District of New York Magistrates Court past 5 pm on January 7. At the government's table were two Assistant US Attorney and two other law enforcement; there were two more in the gallery with Inner City Press.

  Federal Defender Ms. Cabrera was assigned to Williams. She waived the pre-trial services report, and consented to detention without prejudice to a future bail application. The next proceeding is scheduled for January 21. Inner City Press will continue on this case.

From at least in or about December 2018 up to and including at least in or about February 2019, WILLIAMS ran a sex trafficking enterprise (the “Business”), along with another person (“CC-1”), who also worked as a prostitute for WILLIAMS.                 In February 2019, WILLIAMS and CC-1 kidnapped Victim-1, who was an adult, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and transported her to the Bronx, New York, to work as a prostitute for the Business.  During the time that Victim-1 was held by WILLIAMS and CC-1, WILLIAMS and CC-1 advertised Victim-1 for sex and also forced Victim-1 to engage in sex acts with clients in exchange for money.  When Victim-1 expressed resistance to being trafficked for sex, WILLIAMS brandished a gun and threatened to hurt Victim-1 unless she complied.  On at least one occasion, WILLIAMS raped Victim-1 after threatening her with a gun.                 In or about December 2018, WILLIAMS and CC-1 recruited Victim-2, who was 14 years old at the time, to work as a prostitute for the Business.  During the ensuing months, until in or about February 2019, WILLIAMS and CC-1 advertised Victim-2 for sex and directed Victim-2 to engage in sex acts with clients in exchange for money.  WILLIAMS and CC-1 forced Victim-2 to turn over the money Victim-2 earned from prostitution... WILLIAMS will be presented before United States Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman later today.   "

  Inner City Press exclusively covered before Judge Freeman earlier on January 7 the guilty plea of insider trader Bryan Cohen of Goldman Sachs, which was not announced, and was grateful to receive two but then no more answers about the detention of Virgil Griffith - but is still concerned with the OneCoin exhibits, for which it has had to file a FOIA request, still not fulfilled.
