ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Quondall Davis, 26, of Rochester, NY, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa to sex trafficking of a minor. The charge carries a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola, who is handling the case, stated that between April 2017 and July 2018, the defendant, a/k/a Hotdog, recruited Minor Victim 1 and Minor Victim 2 to engage in commercial sex acts. Davis posted ads on “Cityxguide.com,” to entice customers to engage in commercial sex acts with the minor victims. Cityxguide.com is a website providing classified advertising across the United States and internationally. Minor Victim 1 and Minor Victim 2 each engaged in commercial sex acts and gave a portion of the profits the defendant. Davis knew that both victims were under the age of 18.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation Task Force, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Stephen Belongia.
Sentencing is scheduled for November 18, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. before Judge Siragusa.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Quondall D. Davis, 24, of Rochester, NY, was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with sex trafficking of a minor and sex trafficking of an adult by force. The charges carry a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola, who is handling the case, stated that according to the complaint, the defendant was identified by investigators during an investigation into prostitution in Rochester. Officers were told that Davis, who goes by “Hot Dog,” would place an ad on the website “backpage.com.” Once a customer responded, “Hot Dog” would reach out to one of his girls and have them picked up by a driver. The complaint further states that “Hot Dog” would use his Facebook account to contact the girls. Following a date, the girls gave half of the profits to “Hot Dog.” Investigators also learned that girls would have sex with different guys in order to receive heroin. If the girls received heroin, they were to give all of it to “Hot Dog” but would not get any money in return.
Investigators reviewed Davis’s Facebook account and observed, among other items, a photo of a contact with the name “LongWay” with a mobile telephone number connected to an advertisement associated with prostitution in the Syracuse, NY.
The investigation has identified three minor victims and one adult victim who have been involved in prostitution activities with the defendant.
The defendant made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson and is being held pending a detention hearing on April 11, 2019.
The complaint is the result of an investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert, and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Todd Baxter.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
