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.”

In April 2018, there was an Aggravated Assault offense that occurred at a house on Marcell Avenue in Dallas. The following day we received an anonymous tip about activity at that house and within a few days of that we received an outcry from an individual who detailed prostitution and possible human trafficking occurring at that house. The individual identified as the leader of the criminal activities is a man by the name of Tremont Blakemore. The Dallas Police Department’s High-Risk Victims and Trafficking Unit and the Narcotics Interdiction Unit initiated a joint investigation into Blakemore’s activity.

Suspect Blakemore was found to be the head of a large-scale prostitution organization operating in the North Texas region. Blakemore and this group has been tied to prostitution activity in multiple cities in Texas and throughout the nation. The victims he has trafficked for the purposes of prostitution come from as far away as Maine, Wyoming and Montana. He routinely maintains a group of about 20 active females whom he prostitutes for his group’s profit. Over the years a conservative estimate of the number of women he’s controlled and manipulated in this life of prostitution and trafficking easily stretches into the hundreds.
