On May 21, 2026, NJ Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) announced today that a Camden man has been charged with human trafficking, promoting prostitution, and acts of violence against two women whom he allegedly forced to commit commercial sex acts.
Keith B. Woodson, 40, of Camden, is charged by complaint with multiple counts of first-degree human trafficking, promoting prostitution, and aggravated assault.
“Human trafficking offenses are particularly egregious because they exploit vulnerable victims for financial gain,” said Attorney General Davenport. “We will continue to identify those responsible, support survivors, and prosecute offenders.”
“The charges we’re announcing today describe a disturbing cycle of violence and abuse,” said DCJ Director Theresa L. Hilton. “This case reflects the unwavering commitment of the DCJ Human Trafficking Unit to pursue justice for victims of this crime.”
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, Woodson allegedly forced at least two victims to perform sex acts for various men in exchange for money and narcotics. As to the first victim, N.G., Woodson allegedly posted ads featuring pictures of N.G. on illicit sexual websites to attract “clients.” He also allegedly solicited men from a bar and a convenience store he frequented.
As alleged, Woodson rented hotel rooms, bought supplies, and arranged meetings between N.G. and clients and then afterward collected all the money the clients had paid to N.G. N.G. performed these sex acts against her will, in fear that if she did not, Woodson would hurt her physically or withhold food. In addition, Woodson allegedly threatened violence against N.G.’s family if she ever tried to leave. Woodson allegedly expected N.G. to see four or five clients daily, Monday through Friday.
As alleged, Woodson also had a second victim, identified as “G.D.” Woodson allegedly met G.D. when she was getting off a bus in Camden and told her he could show her how to make $1,000 a day.
G.D., dependent on narcotics, agreed. In turn, Woodson then allegedly expected G.D. to earn $1,000 per day by performing sex acts for paying men. G.D. was then expected to turn that money over to Woodson. In exchange, Woodson allegedly supplied G.D. with various drugs, including Ecstasy, Percocet, and Adderall. Woodson allegedly threatened that if G.D. did not perform sex acts, she would never see her family again. In addition, when she did not do as Woodson asked, Woodson allegedly choked G.D. until the point of passing out, threatened to kill her, and threatened to kill her family. Woodson would also allegedly send G.D. pictures of herself walking down the street or in a store to prove to her that he was watching her and knew where she was going all the time.
This case is being prosecuted by Tiffany DeGrandmaison and Deputy Chief Kathleen Dillon, under the supervision of Bureau Chief Laura Magnone.
First-degree crimes carry a sentence of 10 to 20 years in state prison and a fine of up to $200,000. Third-degree charges carry a sentence of three to five years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000.
The charges and allegations contained in the complaints are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
