Hollywood Producer Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for Organizing Prostitution

On Thursday, the Hollywood movie producer was sentenced to five years in prison after he was charged with running prostitution from 2010 to 2017.

According to a Justice Department press release, producer Dillon Jordan pleaded guilty on September 1 to violating the Mann Act.

Jordan, 50, was also ordered to confiscate $1,429,717, according to the report.

“For many years the defendant operated and profited from a vast prostitution business that catered to wealthy men and was based on the exploitation of young women. This Office is committed to prosecuting sex offenders, especially those who use physical and emotional abuse for profit,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said.

According to the New York Post, court documents say some of the partners Jordan worked with to finance the films were among the clients of his sex business.

Prosecution court documents included a statement from a woman who said she met Jordan in Las Vegas when she was 18.

That night, she said, she had sex with a $3,000 man and was taken to a party where he forced her to “undress and walk her on a leash, crawling on her hands and knees,” prosecutors wrote.

“The defendant made comments about how young Victim 1 was, such as: “Look, she was barely 18!” and pointed to her blindfolded Hello Kitty phone case she carried with her,” prosecutors wrote.

“I remember being scared out of my wits as my eyes darted back and forth from the drugs you literally put in my mouth,” the victim wrote, according to a statement filed by the prosecution.

“You separated me from reality, made me question my self-esteem, and long after it was all over, I still feel shame, regret and self-doubt,” she wrote.

Jordan’s lawyers said their client had a difficult past, including sex and strip clubs at a young age.

A DOJ press release said Jordan arranged for the women he hired to meet with clients, including making connections with a madam from the United Kingdom.

A Justice Department press release states that Jordan “emotionally and sexually abused at least some of the women who engaged in paid sex on his behalf or whom he attempted to recruit into prostitution on his behalf.”

In sentencing Jordan, U.S. District Judge John P. Cronan spared no words, noting that “Jordan’s entire business was based on the exploitation of women… Each of them suffered irreversible physical and emotional scars… I may have survived more than five years. if I had the authority to do so.”

The Los Angeles Times reported that, based on a memo filed by prosecutors before sentencing, Jordan charged up to $100,000 to host sex parties and could charge up to $15,000 to meet a single woman’s client.

Jordan kept about 40 percent of the profits, according to the Times, citing the memo.

The LA Times reported that a victim statement from a woman identified only as victim 4 said she was treated like a “slave”.

“For years, almost every time we went to an ‘exciting’ event, it ended in insults. He usually ended up getting high, and then I had to endure it until it was over. I should be afraid who might touch me. What are they going to do to me? What will they force me to do?” She said.

Jordan’s IMDB page lists him as a producer on nine films and is listed as an executive producer on the 2018 Kindergarten Teacher, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal.
