Brother of SF influencer Ricci Wynne facing same human trafficking, pimping charges

Gage Wynne, 32, faces charges of human trafficking, pimping, and pandering, allegedly linked to sex work advertisements throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. His brother, Ricci Wynne, 39, was federally indicted for coercing minors into sexual conduct and is also charged with pimping and pandering. Authorities have connected Gage to several incidents, including his arrest by South San Francisco police during a human trafficking rescue operation, where he was identified as the boyfriend of a victim he allegedly transported to a hotel for sex work. Ricci Wynne gained notoriety as a social media influencer, boasting over 105,000 Instagram followers, and has been a vocal critic of San Francisco's policies on drug use and homelessness. In November 2024, Ricci was arrested at San Francisco International Airport, leading to a search of his Fremont Street residence.

The Wynne brothers' cases underscore the ongoing issues of human trafficking and exploitation within the community. Prosecutors are pursuing serious charges that reflect the gravity of the situation. The outcomes of these cases may influence public discourse on local drug and sex work policies.
