According to a statement from Manhattan U.S.Attorney Audrey Strauss, Jordan has been charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Mann Act, one count of enticement, one count of use of interstate commerce to promote unlawful activity and one count of money laundering.
He was arrested on Thursday in San Bernardino County, Calif.
“As alleged, for years, Dillon Jordan operated an extensive and far-reaching prostitution business, using a purported event planning company and a movie production company to conceal the proceeds he made from exploiting women,” Strauss said in the statement. “Now the party is over and the film is a wrap.”
