East New York man sentenced to 8 years in prison for attempted sex trafficking of 15-year-old girl
An East New York man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to the attempted sex trafficking of a child. The defendant forced a 15-year-old girl to work as a prostitute and perform sex acts, including in a series of underground strip clubs.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez identified the defendant as Bryant Entzminger, 42, of East New York, Brooklyn. He was sentenced today by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Donald Leo to eight years in prison and seven years’ post-release supervision. He must also register as a sex offender. Entzminger pleaded guilty to attempted sex trafficking of a child on July 27, 2022.
According to the evidence, on October 13, 2020, the defendant, who was a passenger in a car, approached the victim as she was walking near Avenue J and invited her to his home. He asked her name and age and then told her that from now on, her name was “Chocolate Dior” and that she was 21. She was taken to the defendant’s home in East New York where the defendant and two other men had intercourse with the victim.
Entzminger dressed the victim in a suggestive outfit and took photos of her to use in online advertisements to arrange dates, during which the victim engaged in various sex acts with men in exchange for money.
Between Oct. 13 and Oct. 25, 2020, the defendant took the victim to underground strip clubs where she was made to dance, strip and engage in various sex acts with men in exchange for money. The defendant also brought the victim to the “track” in East New York, a place where men come to look for prostitutes, as well as various hotels and apartments where she would engage in intercourse for money.
In all these instances, the victim collected the money and gave it directly to the defendant, who supplied the victim with marijuana, cocaine, cigarettes, and alcohol, according to the DA’s Office.
