District Attorney Dan Dow announced today that Lucion Lee Edwards Banks (DOB 03/29/83) of Sacramento has been sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison for human trafficking a 14-year-old female in San Luis Obispo County.

On March 15, 2021, a San Luis Obispo County jury found Banks (38) guilty of trafficking the 14-year-old survivor by use of force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace or threat of unlawful injury.

The conviction resulted from a run-of-the-mill traffic enforcement stop by San Luis Obispo City Police Officer Quenten Rouse, which quickly revealed evidence that Banks was involved in trafficking the young survivor for commercial sexual exploitation.

Today the Honorable Judge Barry T. LaBarbera sentenced Banks to 15 years to life in state prison. Additionally, Banks is required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life.
