Human Trafficking: Everett Man Accused Of Targeting Vulnerable Women Pleads Not Guilty, DA Says

A 45-year-old Everett man with a history of violent crimes pleaded not guilty Wednesday, April 19, to charges that he preyed on female drug addicts and used their vulnerabilities to turn them into prostitutes for him, authorities said. 

Trevor Jones is accused of preying on drug addicts and plying them with drugs, food, and a place to live if they prostituted themselves for him, prosecutors said. If they did not meet their nightly quota, Jones would abuse them, police alleged.

Trevor Jones, 45, was indicted earlier this month on two counts of human trafficking; two counts of deriving support from prostitution; rape; assault and battery on a family or household member; and assault and battery causing serious bodily injury. A judge ordered him held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing set for May 10, the prosecutor added. 

Police said Jones chose women in desperate need of help and gave them a home, food, and drugs as long as they were willing to prostitute themselves for his benefit. The women "lived in constant fear of not making their nightly quota and were often subjected to physical and verbal abuse," the prosecutor said.
