STOUGHTON, Mass. (WWLP) - A Stoughton man who has multiple prior convictions of sex trafficking has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for sex trafficking multiple adult women.
Marvin Pompilus, 39, pleaded guilty in October 2024 to four counts of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.

Pompilus had been previously convicted of multiple counts of sex trafficking and deriving support for prostitution in 2018, and was released from state prison in 2021.
Charging documents state that after Pompilus was released, he used a combination of threats and physical and sexual violence to exploit women into his commercial sex trade, collecting all of the proceeds. He would also take advantage of women dependent on drugs by withholding controlled substances from them unless they engaged in commercial sex acts.
Pompilus was said to have required all of his victims to regularly check in with him, forbidding them to interact with other men or purchase drugs from anyone but him. If they did not follow his orders, he would become verbally or physically violent, or isolate them from others.
“Marvin Pompilus is a criminal recidivist and vile perpetrator who deserves a significant sentence to protect our community. His prior conviction did nothing to deter further acts of violence on women and continuing to push drugs onto our streets,” said U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley. “Today’s sentence highlights our ongoing efforts to hold accountable those who prey on vulnerable victims and denigrate human dignity.”
Pompilus was sentenced to 13 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He has also been ordered to pay restitution in an amount that will be determined at a later date.
