Rapper Bentley Bugz (real name Jimmy Francois) has been charged with sex trafficking of a 16-year-old girl in a federal court in Brooklyn. The charges stem from force, fraud, and coercion, as well as coercing and enticing a minor, sexually exploiting a child, and prostitution across state lines. Bugz is also accused of physically assaulting and intimidating the minor victim, while posting sexually explicit images of her in various prostitution ads. He remains in custody without bail and could face a minimum of 15 years behind bars if convicted.
