Chase McMillon, 39, pleaded guilty to trafficking a minor in August 2006, but wrote an apology letter to the court saying he has made serious changes in his life since then.
OAKLAND — A year after he was acquitted of allegations of sex trafficking from 2019, a Bay Area man avoided additional jail time for trafficking a minor who came to Oakland from Kentucky in 2006, court records show.
It is a bizarre case that was litigated for years, and resulted in McMillon spending roughly 18 months behind bars awaiting trial, before he was released in April 2022. McMillon was indicted in 2020 on charges of trafficking a woman in Salinas through threats and fisticuffs, but the case fell apart. In March 2022, he was acquitted of both charges.
The girl’s mother spoke with McMillon on the phone, who said she was “hustling to get money” and that “if she does not get straight and do what she was told her arm is going to be broke,” prosecutors said in court records. For reasons that remain unclear, though, no charges were filed against McMillon until after he’d been indicted in the 2019 case.
“The things I’ve done are not a pleasant reflection of me; I have fully turned me from the error of my ways,” he wrote. “I’ve made a change so needed in my life that it has me working hard to help people.”
