Four men were recently arrested and charged with various offenses regarding a prostitution ring using teenage foster kids. Authorities investigating the case believe the men were led by 29-year-old E.E. in the operation. It is alleged that E.E. would first recruit one teenager living at a group home and entice them into joining the prostitution ring. Once they had one girl join the operation, they would then have her recruit other girls at the foster home. Men were reportedly charged $100 to have sex with the foster kids and then less than half of that money ($30 - $40) would go to the prostitute. The four men, including three others aged 30, 34 and 65, face a variety of felony charges. Talk to a criminal defense lawyer right away if you have been arrested or charged with a crime.
All four men have been taken into custody and charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor, conspiracy and racketeering. If convicted of the charges, each of the men could receive severe sentencing including many years in federal prison and expensive fines as well as other penalties. Sex crimes charges involving minors are taken very seriously by local, state and federal law enforcement.
