A 29-year-old Sacramento County man was sentenced last week to 71 years to
life in prison for human trafficking, the Sacramento County District
Attorney�s Office said.

Dominick Roberson was arrested in 2022 on suspicion of pimping and
pandering a woman he was dating, authorities said.

At the time, Roberson expressed romantic interest in the victim, pursuing
a relationship with her. As their relationship developed, however, he
became �threatening, verbally abusive and physically assaulted her,� the District Attorney�s Office said in a news release.

�He gave her directions regarding selling sex and put her out on the
street in a well-known prostitution �stroll� area,� the news release said.
�He required her to give him the money she made from prostitution and
continued to exercise control over her, including through physical
violence and threats to her and her family.�

Roberson was arrested after a service provider noticed something was wrong
with the victim during a medical visit and asked if she needed help, prosecutors said. Law enforcement officers were notified and took him into custody, finding a firearm in his car.

Roberson had served a term in prison before and was on parole while
trafficking this victim. Roberson has three prior convictions for robbery
and assault with a deadly weapon, the District Attorney�s Office said.

Roberson was convicted by a jury in July, and a Sacramento Superior Court
judge handed down the sentence Friday.

The jury also convicted Roberson of making criminal threats and felon in possession of a firearm.
