GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Two women named in an indictment against eight gang members have pleaded guilty and been sentenced to prison for their part in a human trafficking ring in Gwinnett County.

Last year, Attorney General Chris Carr indicted eight members of the “LOTTO (Last One To Take Over)” gang on 97 total counts after five women were rescued.

Jadah Henry, 22, pleaded guilty to racketeering, gang and human trafficking charges. She was sentenced to 25 years with 10 to serve in prison.

Jayda Wilson, a 27-year-old also known as Thump, pleaded guilty to racketeering charges and was sentenced to 15 years with five to serve in prison.

“As we have said since the beginning – anyone engaged in human trafficking will be held accountable for their actions,” said Carr. “We’re committed to securing justice for survivors, and we’re working to combat gang activity in every corner of our state. All Georgians deserve to feel safe in their communities, and we’re fighting each day to ensure that’s a reality.”

Another of the defendants, 27-year-old Tyreek Lee, previously pleaded guilty to racketeering, gang and human trafficking charges. He was sentenced to 20 years with 10 to serve in prison.

Sean Aaron Curry (also known as Jaak), 33, of Gwinnett County

Sean Patrick Harvey (also known as Shootah), 35, of Gwinnett County

Eric Duane Johnson (also known as EJ), 46, of DeKalb County

Bobby Jamaine Downing (also known as Kahlil), 41, of DeKalb County

Hilton Lance Dobbins (also known as Sporty), 33, of Fulton County

According to Carr, the LOTTO gang has origins in the Gangster Disciples and the Crips national gangs. Gang members are believed to have conspired with each other to illegally obtain money, weapons and property through racketeering.
