Suisun man sentenced to prison in Napa County human trafficking case
Harold Edward Domingue, 36, was convicted in June of felony pandering, according to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office.
On Thursday, Napa County Superior Court Judge Mark Boessenecker sentenced Domingue to six years in state prison, District Attorney Allison Haley reported.
Haley’s office said Dominge’s conviction stemmed from an October investigation into his role in controlling and profiting from a woman in Napa County who was involved in prostitution.
The investigation revealed that Domingue transported the sex worker in and around the county and financially benefited from her prostitution by using her income to pay his rent and utilities, authorities said.
Domingue’s moniker, “Fame,” was tattooed on the woman’s body, along with the words, “Money Maker,” the District Attorney’s Office said.
Hailey’s office, along with the Napa Special Investigations Bureau, handled the case investigation.
Late on Thursday, Haley followed up by reporting on her handling of other human trafficking cases.
“Of the seven human trafficking cases presented to the DA’s Office for prosecution, two offenders have pleaded guilty and accepted state prison sentences, one has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing to state prison, three are pending in the court system, and one has an outstanding arrest warrant,” a message from Haley said on her agency’s Facebook page.
“We aren't messing around when it comes to human trafficking cases,” Haley added.
