Sex Trafficking

Dennis Paris operated an illegal prostitution ring in Connecticut, which he licensed as Paris Enterprises Group, LLC. He conspired with a variety of other traffickers, “sharing” girls and women, and recruited clients through the yellow pages telephone directory. He facilitated meetings between the women and girls with clients at hotels or private residences. He raped and beat his victims and used heroin to manipulate and coerce them. He also threatened to have one victim arrested if she left him. He also knew that some of his victims were still in high school. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking minors.
