SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 27 – Martin Conception is on trial for child sex trafficking.   

  On July 27, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge J. Paul Oetken was presiding over the trial. Inner City Press went and covered it. 

 On the stand was a Ms. Rodriguez, who testified she was 16 years old when she was prostituted out by a trio including Concepcion a/k/a Tito.

Judge Oekten admonished some of those in the courtroom gallery for gesticulating during the testimony and said if it continued, they would be removed.   

The events described took place in The Bronx around 184th Street and Creston Avenue, and Valentine Avenue. Tito got shot, but did not go to the hospital, at least not immediately. 

  Concepcion's defense counsel repeatedly asked Rodriguez about her previous prostitution, and how many months she had been missing.

A long sidebar in the robing room ensued.

The case is US v. Concepcion, 19-cr-883 (Oetken)
