Sex Trafficking Ring Busted in Atlantic City, 2 Charged

Two people have been indicted on racketeering, human trafficking, kidnapping, and numerous other charges for their alleged roles in a sex trafficking prostitution scheme.

The prosecutors say they exploited multiple victims, including a minor in Atlantic City and other locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Two Charged in Human Trafficking Operation

Tamier R. Brown-Miller, 26, of Philadelphia and Dezeree Smith, 25, of Collingswood were charged in a state indictment with racketeering, conspiracy to commit human trafficking, kidnapping, multiple human trafficking offenses and a laundry list of other crimes.

Brown-Miller also faces additional charges including sexual assault and promoting prostitution involving a child.

Prosecutors allege the pair brought the victim to motels to engage in commercial sex acts and kept the money from the trafficking.

Brown-Miller took sexually explicit photographs of the victim and posted them on websites advertising escort services.

He is also accused of supplying the victim with illegal drugs and assaulting her.

Atlantic City Police Received Word about Sex Trafficking

According to the indictment, on October 14, 2025, the Atlantic City Police Department received a report from an underage victim who was being sex trafficked by Brown-Miller and Smith from July to October 2025 in Atlantic City motels and other locations, including Cherry Hill and Philadelphia.

Miller and Smith brought the victim to various motels to engage in commercial sex acts with men.

Brown-Miller allegedly told the victim that he knew where her family lived and threatened to kill them if the victim did not work for him.

The Sex Trafficking Scheme is Busted

On October 30, 2025, Brown-Miller and Smith were charged in connection with a separate alleged human trafficking incident in Gloucester City.

The Gloucester City Police Department responded to a motel in response to a complaint by the victim, who said she was being sex trafficked.

“In New Jersey, we will continue to investigate and prosecute the criminals who traffic and exploit victims, all while supporting survivors and connecting them with the resources and services they need to rebuild,” said Attorney General Davenport.

“We are committed to ending the suffering human trafficking leaves in its wake.”
