A Hamden woman has been charged with several federal offenses related to child sex trafficking, according to an announcement from David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Michael J. Krol, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), New England.
Jamira Denise Myers, also known as “Chocolate,” 42, faces charges including sex trafficking and attempted sex trafficking of minors, forced labor and attempted forced labor of minors, as well as obstruction and attempted obstruction of sex trafficking enforcement.
Court documents allege that in July 2025, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) notified the New Haven Police Department after images of a 16-year-old girl appeared on skipthegames.com, a website advertising commercial sex services. An HSI Task Force investigation determined that Myers used this website to post advertisements involving the 16-year-old and at least four other minor girls between ages 14 and 17. According to investigators, Myers arranged meetings between clients and these minors, transported them to meeting locations—including hotel rooms she rented—and initially instructed them to rob clients before splitting the proceeds. Later, she allegedly directed at least one minor to engage in sexual acts with clients.
Myers was arrested on October 10, 2025. She is currently detained while awaiting further proceedings. If convicted on the most serious charges, she faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and could receive up to life imprisonment.
U.S. Attorney Sullivan stated: “A complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
The case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from both the New Haven Police Department and Watertown Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Angel M. Krull and Daniel P. Gordon are prosecuting the case.
