Johnny Ray Taylor, who led a lavish lifestyle as a pimp while evading taxes and collecting government disability benefits. Taylor owes more than $393,000 in income he earned as a pimp between 2008 and 2010.

IRS agents seized another $306,000 from Taylor, which they did not include as part of his income those years, from a safety deposit box belonging to him.

Taylor, 35, pleaded guilty to a single tax evasion count in Federal court while getting a sweet plea deal in State court for a sentence for 3 years. He was arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into the cash-rich sex trade in Las Vegas by the Financial Crimes Task Force, a group of law enforcement agencies that includes IRS-Criminal Investigation, Las Vegas police, Henderson police and the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

In court Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Dickinson said Taylor, who once had as many as nine prostitutes working for him, was “rather flamboyant” in his illegal activities. Taylor spent more than $100,000 renting two homes in Henderson between 2008 and 2010 and another $140,000 buying and leasing three luxury cars, including a couple of Bentleys, Dickinson said in court papers.

At the same time, Taylor was collecting Social Security disability checks while claiming to be indigent and unable to work. Defense lawyer Steve Stein said Taylor, who grew up in a Memphis ghetto with only a sixth-grade education, was determined to turn his life around after he gets out of prison.

On November 29, 2006, Houston Vice Division police officers obtained an advertisement with a photo of a female, B.S.R., who officers identified as a 17-year-old girl. As part of a sting operation, an undercover officer called B.S.R. through one of the advertisements and she arranged a “sex date” with him at a specific hotel in Houston.

On December 5, 2006, William Hornbeak drove B.S.R. to the designated hotel where she left the car and proceeded to the agreed-upon room to meet the undercover officer. In the hotel room, B.S.R. agreed to perform

a sex act with the undercover officer in exchange for a fee. She then called Hornbeak, who was waiting for her in his car in the hotel parking lot. Officers arrested B.S.R. in the hotel room for engaging in prostitution. Hornbeak repeatedly called B.S.R. from his car. When she did not answer the phone, Hornbeak went to the hotel room where the officers arrested Hornbeak for transporting another for unlawful or immoral purposes. Upon his arrest, officers seized Hornbeak’s cell phone and searched the recently made and received calls, as well as the contact list on the phone. They did so without a warrant. Officers also conducted a search of Hornbeak’s car before having it towed from the scene. Incriminating evidence found in Hornbeak’s car included boxes of condoms, a copy of a birth certificate for B.S.R., and accounting records and credit card charge receipts for a prostitution business.

A Bay Point man convicted of torture, rape and human trafficking compared his own plight to that of Nelson Mandela’s, before a Contra Costa County judge sentenced him Friday to life plus at least 180 years.

Before he was sentenced, Deandre Lewis heard from some of his victims and their family members, but only briefly glanced toward them as they spoke. One woman, who said she had known Lewis since he was 16, recounted how he would regularly beat her and others to keep them under his control, and said she lived in fear for many years.

“I lived in terror of what you could do to me, my parents or my son,” said the woman, who this newspaper is not identifying. She later added, “The reality is, you are the weak one. You needed me more than I needed you.”
