Los Angeles Man Sentenced to 14 Years for Attempting to Coerce a 15-Year-Old Into Prostitution in San Diego
SAN DIEGO — In San Diego, a city in San Diego County, California, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 9 that K'John Henry Sands II, 26, of Los Angeles, was sentenced in federal court to 168 months in prison, or 14 years, for attempting to coerce a 15-year-old minor to engage in prostitution.
Sands pleaded guilty on August 25, 2026, to one count of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor. According to his plea agreement, he instructed the minor on how much to charge for commercial sex dates, supplied her with condoms, and collected the proceeds.
Prosecutors said the case came to the attention of the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force on June 2, 2025, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sent information about an online ad for what appeared to be a juvenile in the San Diego area. On June 3, 2025, investigators arranged a ruse date, recovered the minor, and learned that the motel room where she was staying had been rented by Sands.
U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon and California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in statements that law enforcement will continue to pursue those who exploit children. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Derek Ko, with case number 25cr03258-BJC. The Justice Department said anyone who believes they or someone they know has been a victim of human trafficking can contact the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force at 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733.
