Carr Secures Final Two Convictions in Major Human Trafficking and Gang Case in Gwinnett County

ATLANTA, GA - Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that Eric Duane Johnson, 49, of Decatur, and Bobby Jamaine Downing, 43, of Lithonia, have been convicted and sentenced to prison in a multi-defendant human trafficking and gang case in Gwinnett County. Johnson has pleaded guilty to gang, racketeering, and pimping charges. Downing has pleaded guilty to gang, racketeering, and human trafficking charges. All nine defendants who were originally charged in this case have now been convicted, including the leaders of the Last One To Take Over Gang (aka LOTTO or 30% Gang), a hybrid criminal street gang with ties to the national Crips and Gangster Disciples. Both Johnson and Downing are members of LOTTO.

An investigation revealed that several of the defendants and members of LOTTO were engaged in the trafficking of five female victims, including one child, to further their criminal enterprise. While associated with LOTTO, Johnson transported two of the adult victims and provided money and firearms to the gang's leaders. Downing was involved in the trafficking of all five female victims, including the child.

"The Gwinnett County community is safer today because the LOTTO gang is behind bars," said Carr. "This is a criminal network that trafficked a child to make money, and we went after all those involved - taking down the gang's leaders, associates, and the entire LOTTO operation. We're fighting each day to protect our most vulnerable Georgians, and we won't rest until every predator and violent criminal is held accountable."
