A 49-year-old Tacoma man with a prior sex trafficking conviction was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Tuesday for distributing drugs while in possession of loaded firearms, according to U.S. Attorney Charles Neil Floyd.

Ezekiel Alon Hampton committed the offenses while still serving a supervised release following a 13-year prison term for multiple sex trafficking convictions. U.S. District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright also ordered Hampton to serve five years of supervised release after completing his prison sentence.

Court records show that Hampton was released from prison in December 2019 after being sentenced in 2010 for crimes including interstate transportation of minors for prostitution and sex trafficking of minors.
