Plea Deal Reached in Sex Trafficking and Identity Theft Case

Ryan Iseghohi, a man previously facing accusations of running a forgery lab and involvement in sex trafficking in Las Vegas, has agreed to a plea deal resulting in a suspended sentence and probation. Iseghohi pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obtain and use another person's identity information for unlawful purposes.

Victim Calls for Stronger Consequences

Molly Brady, identified as a sex trafficking victim in the case, spoke out about her disappointment with the plea arrangement. In a virtual interview from Texas, Brady described Iseghohi as "the devil" and detailed the coercive environment she faced. "My hope would have been at least for him to go to jail and also have to pay restitution for everything he’s taken from me," she said. "At the end of the day, they knew I was being trafficked."

Clark County District Attorney Addresses Credibility Concerns

The Clark County District Attorney’s office, led by Steve Wolfson, acknowledged in communication with 8 News Now Investigators that while prosecutors believe Brady was a victim of sex trafficking, challenges with her credibility influenced the decision to offer a plea deal. Wolfson referred to Brady's own criminal case, which involved financial crimes that she claims Iseghohi directed her to commit.

Additional Legal and Financial Factors

Brady has filed a civil lawsuit against Iseghohi, seeking further remediation. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police linked $658,000 in activity related to prostitution to Brady. These elements contributed to the complexity of the case. Court proceedings revealed that Iseghohi operates The Company Car Collection, LLC, according to Nevada Secretary of State records, and that his business depends on clients from properties on the Las Vegas Strip.

Sentencing Terms and Judge’s Reluctance

On November 19, 2025, Clark County District Judge Pete Thunell delivered the sentence in alignment with the plea agreement. Iseghohi was sentenced to 28 to 72 months in the Nevada Department of Corrections, suspended, meaning he will serve probation as long as he meets stipulated conditions, including remaining out of legal trouble and avoiding the Las Vegas Strip during night hours. Judge Thunell stated his reluctance but followed the deal's terms. Iseghohi did not issue an apology during his sentencing, while Brady delivered a victim impact statement, emphasizing the lack of control she felt during her exploitation.

Immigration Status and Future Uncertainty

Iseghohi is not a United States citizen, with an arrest report referencing Nigeria. His defense attorney, Chris Rasmussen, stated that Iseghohi is currently working with an immigration attorney, and he does not believe that the Las Vegas criminal case will affect his client’s immigration status. The Clark County District Attorney’s office commented that decisions regarding Iseghohi’s deportation fall under federal jurisdiction, not the local prosecutor’s office. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not respond to inquiries for this report.

Case Outcomes and Continuing Legal Action

Iseghohi was not convicted of sex trafficking, as reiterated by his defense. However, Molly Brady continues to pursue justice through her civil lawsuit. The case highlights ongoing challenges in prosecuting alleged sex trafficking and identity theft cases, as well as the complexities surrounding victim credibility and immigration consequences.
