DALLAS — A Dallas man was charged Wednesday with operating a large-scale human trafficking organization.
Tremont Blakemore, 40, was charged by criminal complaint with sex trafficking through force, fraud and coercion; he made his initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Rutherford Sept. 11.
According to victim statements detailed in the complaint, Blakemore — who goes by the street name “Macknificent” — may have trafficked hundreds of women across the United States between 2011 and 2018.
Blakemore allegedly cultivated an “environment of paranoia,” demanding near constant updates from the victims he forced into commercial sex and doling out severe physical punishment from those he believed were “keeping secrets,” according to the criminal complaint.
Victims said they were required to alert Blakemore of each illicit encounter as it happened or face grotesque abuse.
“I’m going to make an example out of someone soon,” he wrote in a group text message to victims. “I will not continue to tolerate disrespect that’s one of my biggest pet peeves.”
Blakemore allegedly set a quota of commercial sex proceeds — generally about $1,000 or more per day — and required victims turn all earnings over to him, either in bulk cash or via money transfers. He set the rates for various commercial sex acts, and occasionally lowered victims’ rates to flood out competition.

Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
Cool! This is the doj consolation prize. Didn’t crack the Epstein network, but they got a Dallas pimp!
Did Debbie work there?
Good prison nickname.
“My bitch better have my money!”
>Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
As Norm Macdonald once said: “People say pimpin’ ain’t easy. Actually, prostitution ain’t easy. Pimpin’ actually sounds quite easy next to that.”
Any man who does this should be given a sex change and thrown out on the street to survive.
There are crimes worthy of the death penalty. Human trafficking is one of them.
That’s not a bad idea.
What-at? Since liberals want prostitution to be made legal, so “sex workers” don’t have to be ashamed and stigmatized, pimping should be tolerated, too. Right? He’s just a businessman with quotas, like any other./s
Good prison nickname.
