The movie producer conspired to deliver women to clients

A California movie producer pleaded guilty in a prostitution case
Thursday, admitting that he conspired to run a business that prosecutors
say delivered women to clients across the United States and in England.

Dillon Jordan was permitted to enter the plea remotely and pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to operate a prostitution business.

U.S. District Judge John P. Cronan scheduled sentencing for Dec. 12.

A plea deal Jordan signed with prosecutors recommends that he serve
between 21 months and 27 months in prison, and pay a fine between $10,000
and $95,000. It also calls for him to forfeit $1.4 million.

Jordan, 50, of Arrowhead Lake, California, was arrested last summer on
charges that he used a movie production company as a cover for running a
prostitution ring.

Jordan is listed among dozens of producers on films including the 2018
film "The Kindergarten Teacher," which featured Maggie Gyllenhaal, and the
2019 movie "The Kid," which starred Ethan Hawke.

An indictment said Jordan, from 2010 through May 2017, kept a roster of
women who lived across the U.S. and performed sexual acts for his clients
in exchange for money.

It also said he coordinated with a United Kingdom-based madam, sharing and
referring customers and prostitutes. The madam was not identified by name
in court papers.

You get what you vote for. This whore voted for the environment her
family lives in.
Allyssa Victory, a staff attorney for the Criminal Justice Program at
the ACLU of Northern California, and her family were not injured in the
incident Friday night

An American Civil Liberties Union lawyer and criminal justice advocate
said she and her family were caught in crossfire when bullets penetrated
the walls of her home in Oakland, California.

Allyssa Victory said she and her family were not injured in the incident
that unfolded Friday night.

"This is kind of regular for my neighborhood, to constantly hear sirens
and hear a lot of commotion and chaos happening," Victory told KTVU. "It
doesn't feel good for it to hit so close to home. I'm thankful that my
family is safe."

Victory and her family, including her husband and father-in-law, were
cleaning in the kitchen at about 10:30 p.m. Friday night and her teenage
godson was sleeping in a bedroom when she heard what sounded like 10
gunshots on her block of 21st Avenue in the San Antonio neighborhood.

A bullet came into her dining room area and another bullet came through
her kitchen wall, exiting into a different room.

"It spread debris all over the dishes we had just washed," she said. "We
were a bit rattled."

Victory quickly checked on her family members to make sure they were
alright, inspected her home and walked outside where she observed a
large police presence, within about a minute of the shooting.

Oakland police said at least one person fired a gun in the 2100 block of
Commerce Way and that one person went to a hospital and said they had
been shot. No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

As no stranger to crime, Victory's neighborhood is often the sight of
sexual violence and shootings, and she says she cannot afford to move
away even if she wanted to.

After being homeless at times during her childhood, she now advocates
for underserved communities through working on food and clothing drives
at her church, as well as being a social justice organizer with
Oakland's Youth Together.

Victory is a staff attorney for the Criminal Justice Program at the ACLU
of Northern California, where she works on police reform and law
enforcement accountability and oversight. She also ran an unsuccessful
campaign for mayor of Oakland in 2022, losing to Mayor Sheng Thao.

Earlier on Friday, Victory's best friend was caught in the crossfire in
a different location in East Oakland.

Victory said she had never experienced bullets penetrating through her
home as she was inside.

"It's unusual for it to hit this close to home, literally," Victory
said. "But sadly, this is regular. It seems normalized in some ways."

"I mean, I've been witnessing crime my whole life, growing up in
Oakland," she added.

Witnessing this type of crime, Victory explained, is part of the reason
she decided to pursue a career in criminal justice.

"I wanted to help be an intervention, to understand criminal justice and
its policies, how to make a real difference in everyday people's lives,"
she said. "It makes me want to double down on my efforts to do more
direct work and engage with our youth, with families, by providing
people with services for healing or for trauma."

In Oakland, violent crimes jumped 21% in 2023 compared to the year
before, while vehicle thefts increased 45%, robberies rose 38% and
burglaries were up 23%. Homicides, meanwhile, remained steady at about
120 apiece in 2022 and 2023.

"There's a lot of truth behind the 'crime is happening,' I would never
deny that. It just happened last night in front of my house," Victory
said.

She also said she wants to avoid perpetuating fearmongering and not
become so fearful of crime that she stays inside to escape it. She
explained that she believes the solution to crime is not to simply put
people behind bars.

"There needs to be a larger narrative that 'this is not new,'" Victory
said. "This didn't just start last year or two years ago. This
neighborhood in particular has been known for high rates of violence and
of crime, and there hasn't been a lot of change in that over decades."

"So, some of the current things we've been doing over those decades are
not working, and we're not having a real conversation about that and
just pushing out the narrative that people are criminals or people
should move," she added.

Victory said there is always a large police presence in her
neighborhood, so she thinks adding more cops would not have prevented
the gunfire. She also claimed that Alameda County District Attorney
Pamela Price is charging cases that come to her with the proper evidence
and policing protocols adhered to.

She said working in the criminal justice system does not exempt her from
the impacts of crime and violence, but that she still has not lost her
progressive worldview.

"There's still usually more to people than just the crime or the
violence that they are committing," Victory said. "And if we can
intervene earlier with public services, ensure there's housing and show
we have strong education systems, those are things that can help prevent
crime from happening in the first place."
