Las Vegas Woman Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison for the Sex Trafficking of Children
LAS VEGAS /Wednesday, October 14, 2026 – A Las Vegas woman was sentenced today by Chief United States District Judge Andrew P. Gordon to 168 months in prison to be followed by 20 years of supervised release for child sex trafficking. The government requested 240 months in prison.
“Human trafficking and child exploitation are devastating crimes that prey on some of the most vulnerable members of society, and the Department of Justice is committed to preventing and prosecuting these cases and to vindicating the rights of victims and survivors,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “We will not rest in our efforts to protect our most vulnerable, and anyone who seeks to abuse and exploit them will be met with the full force of the law.”
“Tori Mangum’s calculated decisions were outright reprehensible, inflicting profound and permanent devastation on innocent children,” said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. “This case serves as a stark warning that sex trafficking thrives quietly within our own communities. The FBI and our law enforcement partners remain aggressively committed to identifying, disrupting, and dismantling anyone who dares to exploit children.”
According to court documents and statements made in court, Tori Mangum, also known as Tori Magnum, recruited multiple children to engage in sexually explicit conduct with adults. Mangum advertised the children through prostitution ads depicting the child in a salacious manner through images taken by Mangum or at her direction. Mangum also coordinated the sexual encounters between the children and adults, and she retained a portion of the money earned from the sex acts.
Mangum pleaded guilty to one count of sex trafficking of children.
This case was investigated by the FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Afroza Yeasmin prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
