OAKLAND — Prosecutors here charged a man with pimping after a prostitute who was allegedly working for him answered an undercover police officer’s call to meet at a local hotel, court records show.
Reginald Norfleet, 25, is out on $100,000 bail and faces felony charges of pimping and pandering. He has pleaded not guilty and is next due in court on July 28, records show.
The charging documents allege that a 20-year-old woman showed up at a hotel on the 1700 block of Embarcadero in Oakland after an undercover officer posing as a sex buyer answered a prostitution ad and agreed to a $400 price for one hour. Police later identified Norfleet as her pimp, and authorities say they found evidence on his phone he was pimping others.
Norfleet and the same woman were observed together in a vehicle during a brief traffic stop in January 2024, authorities said. The woman was also detained when she was 17, in an unrelated human trafficking investigation, according to court records.
Authorities say that the woman had a tattoo of Norfleet’s alias on her body. When they searched him, they allegedly found an 18-year-old woman’s ID card.
When Norfleet was arrested, he initially refused to sit in the back of a police car. Later, in a police interview room, he began “kicking the walls and slamming a metal chair into the walls, causing cracks, scratches and paint damage,” police said in court records.
