A PHILADELPHIA pimp who sold a child for sex and forced two other women into prostitution was sentenced yesterday to life in prison without a chance of parole.
"The depravity of this case cannot be understated," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Morgan in a sentencing memo. "The impact of this crime on the minor victim's emotional and psychological well-being is likely irrevocable."
Christian Dior Womack, 30, operated his prostitution network from May 2012 to February 2013 out of several hotels from Atlantic City to Virginia Beach.
Womack, also known as Gucci Prada, met the child at an Atlantic City casino. The 16-year-old girl had been abandoned in the city by her friends. Womack and his girlfriend, Rashidah Brice, approached the child and during a conversation persuaded her to pose as a prostitute in order to steal money from johns.
According to federal prosecutors, the couple took the girl to Trump Plaza, where Womack punched the girl and threatened more violence if she didn't participate. A client found by the couple had sex with the girl. Brice, who secretly recorded the encounter on a smartphone, confronted the man and demanded more money for his having sex with a minor.
Womack, who received life in prison, will never be eligible for parole.
