According to prosecutors, Bryant Entzminger, 42, was a passenger in a car, and approached the victim on Oct. 13, 2020, as she was walking near Avenue J and invited her to his home.
He asked her name and age and then instructed her that her name was "Chocolate Dior" and that she was 21. The victim was taken to his home in East New York, where he and two other men had sex with her.
Entzminger dressed the victim in a suggestive outfit and took photos of her to use in online advertisements to arrange dates during which the victim engaged in various sex acts with men in exchange for money.
From that day to Oct. 25, 2020, the 42-year-old took the victim to underground strip clubs where she was made to dance, strip and engage in various sex acts with men in exchange for money.
He also brought the victim to a track in East New York, as well as various hotels and apartments where she would engage in intercourse for money.
In all these instances, the victim collected the money and gave it directly to the defendant, who supplied the victim with marijuana, cocaine, cigarettes and alcohol.
Prosecutors said that on the night of Oct. 24, 2020, the victim was able to contact a friend who called her sister, who contacted the NYPD. The following day, the victim was able to escape.
“This defendant exploited and raped a vulnerable 15-year-old girl and then trafficked her for money in exchange for sex," said District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. "Today's sentence holds this violent sexual predator accountable for his despicable crime and sends a strong message to anyone who would exploit a child in this way that they will face serious consequences."
Along with Entzminger's sentence, he will face seven years of post-release supervision and must also register as a sex offender.
