Pimping and Exploitation in Santa Rosa | Oakland News

A shocking case in Santa Rosa exposes the devastating reality of minor exploitation: 20-year-old Zander Flores, who pleaded no contest to pimping and child sex abuse charges, faces seven years in prison and a decade-long sex offender registration. He’s not alone—23-year-old Rodrico Lopez, also involved in trafficking the same minor, accepted a plea deal for related crimes and faces a suspended sentence. Both men broke the trust of a vulnerable child, deepening trauma and hindering recovery. This case underscores how betrayal compounds harm and how the justice system seeks accountability to bring some peace to the victim.
