TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution secured a 15-year prison sentence for a human trafficker. Alan Dixon, working with an accomplice, Shantell Woods, recruited two women from New York to Florida and then forced them into sex work. Dixon set payment quotas for each day, coercing the victims into dates through threats of violence and took all funds for the illicit services. 

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This human trafficker brought two women from New York into Florida, who were already trying to flee a violent situation, and then forced them into sex work under threats of abuse, taking the proceeds from the illicit services for himself. Human trafficking is an atrocious crime, and now thanks to our Statewide Prosecutors, this trafficker faces a long sentence behind bars.”

According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office investigation, Dixon recruited two victims from New York to Florida, then forced the women into sex work. Dixon kept all proceeds from illicit services and set a quota that each victim must make per day. Dixon threatened violence if the victims did not meet the quota. Dixon’s accomplice, Woods, posted advertisements of the victims online, and scheduled dates for the women.

Attorney General Moody’s OSP charged Dixon with two counts of transporting from outside the state of Florida for the purpose of human trafficking an adult and one count of unlawful use of two-way communications device, among other charges.

The judge sentenced Dixon to 15 years in prison.

Attorney General Moody’s OSP handled the case.
