According to court documents, Dexter “knowingly recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, and advertised a minor victim to engage in a commercial sex act, knowing that the victim had not attained the age of 18 years.”
On Oct. 5, the FBI issued a $5,000 reward for information leading to Dexter’s capture.
