A federal grand jury has indicted Rodney D. King, 43, and Sharon-Mae Nishimura, 30, both of Honolulu, on multiple counts of federal sex trafficking of adult women and minor female victims.

The charges include allegations of sex trafficking of three adult victims.
The indictment alleges that from periods within April 2006 through June 2007, King used force, fraud and coercion to engage two adult women in commercial sex and that he did so for his own financial benefit.
The indictment also alleges that King attempted to engage a third adult woman in commercial sex in October 2007, and that Nishimura aided and abetted him.
If convicted of any of these counts, King and Nishimura would each face a sentence of imprisonment for a period of 15 years to life.
The indictment also alleges that two girls, both minors, were victimized.
The indictment alleges King engaged one of the minor girls in commercial sex acts from September 2007 through December 2007. It also charges both King and Nishimura with the December 2007 sex trafficking of a second minor victim, alleging that they knew both that the victim was a minor.
