A New York City man known as "Pimp Juice" will receive a 15-year mandatory sentence with the possibility of life in prison after his conviction today on sex trafficking charges.

Justin Williams, 39,  used violence to ensure the continued participation of women who he had recruited to work with his Philadelphia-based  prostitution enterprise, federal prosecutors said.  For three months, from March 2011 through May 2012, Williams exploited three women, shuttling them between Philadelphia, New York, Atlantic City, and Washington D.C. to service clients.

Williams was convicted of two counts of sex trafficking by force. He was also found guilty on a count of witness tampering  for writing a letter to one of his victims ordering to retract her statement before the trial began.
