A Cambridge man has been indicted on charges of trafficking women over the past several years, and his victims include a woman who was underage when first trafficked, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

Daniel Rodriguez, 36, was arrested on state charges in January after leading the police on a high-speed chase in Randolph, officials said. He was caught after crashing his car; one of his victims was with him. 

Rodriguez used tactics including physical violence, stalking and fraud to force his victims to engage in commercial sex for his profit, the authorities said.

According to the indictment, Rodriguez forced four women – one of them beginning when she was a minor – into commercial sex starting in 2018 and tried to force a fifth victim into commercial sex in 2017. Rodriguez’s crimes involved travel to Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maine, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Rodriguez is in state custody and will be arraigned in federal court in the coming weeks, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

He was indicted by a federal grand jury on one count of sex trafficking of a minor; four counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; one count of attempted sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and one count of knowingly persuading, inducing, enticing and coercing an individual to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution. 

Sex trafficking charges carry a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 to 15 years in prison – and a maximum sentence of life in prison – and a fine of up to $250,000. The coercion charges he faces could mean up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
