According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, Paul Edwards Evans, AKA “Blue Diamond,” 58, pleaded guilty back in May to aiding and abetting with trafficking across state lines.

This was all done around Houston’s notorious Bissonnet “track” or “blade,” an area near the Southwest Freeway and Bissonnet Street commonly known by law enforcement officials, where pimps and traffickers often exploit victims.

Prosecutors noted the court also considered how Evans had pulled two relatives into what he described as the “family business,” which involved trafficking women between Texas and California, including Las Vegas.

On Monday, a judge sentenced Evans to 120 months behind bars, but will remain in custody until he is transferred to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility.
