Gibson County Woman Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison for Child Sex Trafficking

Jackson, TN - Brittany Gail Weeks, 28, formerly of Milan, Tennessee, was sentenced to 120 months in prison for transporting a minor in interstate commerce with intent that the minor engage in prostitution. United States Attorney D. Michael Dunavant, of the Western District of Tennessee, announced the sentence today.

The investigation in this case revealed that in June 2023, Weeks transported a minor from Gibson County, Tennessee to a motel in or around Osceola, Arkansas, with intent that the minor engage in sexual intercourse with several adult males at the motel. Once at the motel, Weeks instructed the minor to go room-to-room to engage in sexual intercourse with the adult males in the rooms and then collect payment from them.

The minor went to around 10 rooms and had sexual intercourse with the males in the rooms, collected money from them, and turned the money over to Weeks. When the minor's sexual acts with the men at the motel concluded, Weeks drove the minor back to Tennessee.

In April 2024, Weeks was charged in a one-count federal indictment with transporting a minor in interstate commerce with intent that the minor engage in prostitution. In February 2026, Weeks entered a guilty plea to the one-count indictment.

On August 19, 2026, United States District Judge J. Daniel Breen sentenced Weeks to 120 months' imprisonment and five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Following her release from prison, Weeks will have to register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration & Notification Act (SORNA).

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said: "Human trafficking of minors for commercial sex purposes is an unconscionable crime that must be met with severe consequences. We commend the FBI and our local partners for their outstanding investigation of these heinous crimes, and we are pleased to achieve justice for the victim in this disturbing case."

"Those who prey upon and exploit children should know this: law enforcement will find you, we will investigate you, and we will hold you accountable," said Special Agent in Charge Terence G. Reilly of the FBI Nashville Field Office. "There is no place in our community for those who profit from the abuse of children. I commend the FBI Memphis Resident Agency and our partners for their diligent work on this case."

This case was investigated by members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Milan Police Department, the Gibson County Sheriff's Office, and the Tennessee Department of Children's Services.

Assistant United States Attorney Josh Morrow prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
