The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office announces that Defendant Nathaniel Jeriah Cason has been sentenced to 17 years in state prison for human trafficking of a minor, following his conviction for:
• PC 236.1(c)(1) – Human Trafficking of a Minor
• PC 266i(b)(2) – Pandering a Minor Under 16 (stayed under PC 654)
• PC 236.4 – Prior Human Trafficking Conviction Enhancement
This case was brought forward and successfully prosecuted through the dedicated work of our Human Trafficking Unit, whose mission is to protect the most vulnerable and aggressively pursue those who exploit minors. Evidence presented at trial showed that Cason targeted and recruited a 15‑year‑old victim in an area known for commercial sexual exploitation.
By securing this conviction, our Office continues its commitment to eradicate traffickers from our community, removing dangerous perpetrators from our streets, and strengthening the safety and wellbeing of San Bernardino County.
