LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A Las Vegas defense attorney is accused of forcing clients into prostitution, making them members of what he called his “$100 club,” and referring to himself as a “gorilla pimp,” according to an arrest report.
In a 50-page arrest report, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detailed what landed 62-year-old criminal defense attorney Gary Guymon behind bars.
Guymon faces charges of:
- Sex Trafficking
- Pandering (3 Counts)
- Bribing or Intimidating Witness to Influence Testimony (3 counts)
- Perjury
- Conspiracy to Commit Murder
- Solicitation to Commit Murder
- Coercion
The arrest report says Metro started an investigation into Guymon in November 2024 after receiving information that he was “inducing and encouraging prostitution” from women to do sexual acts to him and people he knew. Detectives learned from at least August 2024, Guymon introduced three women to people he knew. He was the attorney for four women listed as victims in the arrest report. Two of those women had prior prostitution charges.
Detectives believe Guymon ran a sex-trafficking ring nicknamed the “$100 club.”
Police interviewed one of Guymon’s former clients in November 2024, according to the report. She said she met Guymon in July. He agreed to be her lawyer for a district court and family court case. She told police their attorney/client relationship turned romantic a month later but began to sour in October.
The woman claimed he bought her a car and leased an apartment for her. The report details explicit text messages police say Guymon sent to the victim including that he would be her “gorilla pimp” for the next year. If she were to resist, he would smash her teeth, texts in the report said. Police said in the report a “gorilla pimp” is a term for a pimp who is physically violent towards his prostitutes. Detectives said they believed Guymon used threats over her family court case, the car and apartment to control her.
“Do not call me your life coach. Call me your m***f**ing pimp,” Guymon allegedly texted. “Offer any resistance and I just might smash your f***ing teeth out of your mouth. Don’t worry. My father or brother will fix them when I have them get around to it and I’ll pay for that too b****.”
The police report said one of Guymon’s associates offered to pay the former client’s rent if she agreed to stop cooperating with the investigation into Guymon.
Metro began wiretapping Guymon’s phone on January 7, 2025, according to the report. A few days later, police listened in a call between Guymon and his alleged mistress. He tells her he has an important meeting and nothing will satisfy his former client.
“It doesn’t end with her. I am not saying I have anything to do with this, but the only way to stop this girl is to kill her. I’m not saying that’s the solution,” Guymon said, according to the report.
The next day, police listened to a call between Guymon and an associate. Guymon spoke vaguely about paying another person “when it’s done,” the arrest report said.
Detectives talked to another victim who hired Guymon to defend her in a prostitution case. Police said Guymon coerced her to perform sex acts on his boat or she would go to jail, the report said. After police interviewed her, Guymon called her, saying he’d pay her $1,000 to lie to detectives to benefit him, the report said.
According to the arrest report, police interviewed Guymon twice. In their November 2024 interview, he denied being in a romantic relationship with his former client. He sent detectives more than 40 emails, messages and voicemails explaining his relationship with former clients. Police interviewed Guymon again in January. He said his interactions with former clients were consensual. He also admitted to introducing those clients to his associates, the report said.
Guymon was arrested Monday. The arrest report said agreed to speak with police. He denied hiring anyone to kill one of his former clients but said he may have had convos with people to “speak with her.”
Court records show Guymon posted $93,000 cash bail Monday and a court appearance was canceled.
Court records also show two judges have already recused themselves from this case because of conflict. None of the other people named in the arrest report are facing charges related to the case at this time.
Guymon is scheduled to reappear in court March 6.
