Rapper Cash Out Ordered to Pay $40 Million to Sex Trafficking Victim
A lawsuit was filed by a woman from Indiana in 2022, alleging that Atlanta rapper Cash Out, whose real name is John Michael Hakeem Gibson, trafficked her and others for sex between 2013 and 2015. Gibson has been sentenced to life in prison for these crimes. Recently, a federal judge ordered him to pay $40 million to one of his alleged victims. The woman reported experiencing severe emotional distress and physical abuse during the trafficking. In her testimony, she described multiple instances where she was forced into sex work and faced threats. Gibson has been ordered to pay this amount as part of the judgment against him. The case highlights ongoing issues related to sex trafficking and the legal repercussions faced by perpetrators. This ruling serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of such criminal activities. The woman’s bravery in coming forward is seen as a significant step in seeking justice for victims of trafficking.
