Montgomery, Alabama
A Montgomery man has been sentenced to 130 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to sex trafficking involving a minor.
U.S. Attorney Jonathan Ross says a federal judge sentenced 45-year-old Jamecko Rontae Thomas to prison as well as five years of supervised release after his prison sentence ends.Ross says that according to his plea agreement and other court records, in July of 2021, Thomas went to a Montgomery hotel to engage in a commercial sex act with a female who was under the age of 18. A co-defendant arranged the encounter.
Ross says Thomas admitted that the sex act occurred with a reckless disregard for the child’s age. Also pursuant to the plea agreement, Thomas admitted to both knowledge of past incidents of commercial sex acts arranged by his co-defendant and that he was aware of narcotics being used to induce sex trafficking victims.
“Sex trafficking is a terrible crime — one that scars its victims for a lifetime,” Ross said. “This prosecution should send a clear message that my office will hold all individuals accountable for their participation in child sex trafficking and child exploitation, whether they are the traffickers or merely patrons.”
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
