John Golom, 57, was sentenced to 405 months — almost 34 years — in federal prison, US Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Gerard Karam said in a statement on Monday, Oct. 17.

Prosecutors said Golom recruited two women and regularly shuttled them from Florida to the Poconos where he made them engage in prostitution.

For four years from 2014 to 2018, Golom threatened, coerced and lied to the women while pocketing all of the ill-gotten cash, the US Attorney wrote.

One of the two women suffered from mental illness and was homeless, authorities added.

The two women were arrested at a hotel in Monroe County in October 2017, which eventually led to Golom's arrest in Queens, New York in February 2018, according to LehighValleyLive.com.
