Reginald Norfleet pleaded no contest to pandering and was sentenced to probation in July. The terms include a 10-year stay away order from the woman he was pimping, according to court records.
Norfleet, 26, was initially charged with pimping after bringing a 20-year-old woman to a hotel on the 1700 block of Embarcadero in Oakland. The 2025 sting involved undercover Oakland officers responding to prostitution ads and arranging to meet women at the hotel then, with a team standing by to make arrests if suspected traffickers arrived, according to court records.
