Nevada man sentenced to 13 years for soliciting children into prostitution

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KOLO) – A Las Vegas man has been sentenced to more than 13 years in prison after being found guilty of soliciting multiple children into prostitution.

Denzel Renyal Micheal Loyd will serve 15 years of parole after his release. He was convicted of four counts of coercion and enticement after the DOJ says he used Facebook to contact minors and solicit them into engage in sexual acts. They say he also sent them sexually explicit images and videos of himself, asking them to prostitute themselves on his behalf.

“Today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of the offense,” said United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “Over the span of a few months, the defendant, a self-described pimp, solicited numerous minors to send him sexually explicit photographs and videos of themselves, induced them to engage in various sex acts – at least one victim complied to his sex demands in exchange for food, and attempted to convince the victims to engage in prostitution. The U.S. Attorney’s Office continues to work closely with the FBI to protect our youth from predators, and we will seek justice for victims.”

Loyd will also be required to register as a sex offender after his release.
