Teen Busted In Prostitution Ring

Seems like Idaho wants a ratchet name too. There are reports of a 17 year old running a prostitution ring using his 15 year old brother to help while doing all of this from a juvenile detention center.

A Spokane police gang unit discovered the ring while secretly listening to phone calls between 17-year-old Thaishaun Hunter and his 15-year-old brother, Dionte Hunter. During the calls, Thaishaun Hunter was locked up on an unrelated charge, was instructing his brother on how to run a prostitution business.

Some of the victims were as young as 14. They were ordered to advertise themselves on a prostitution website for $400 dates. Girls who chose not to were ripped off or assaulted. The victims told police they were told to give at least 25 percent of the profits to the brothers’ mother, so she could save money towards the bail of Thaishaun.

Dionte Hunter appeared in court on Thursday and is facing several several charges of promoting prostitution and promoting the commercial sexual abuse of a minor. He is also facing charges of child pornography, because of a nude photo of a teenage girl he allegedly took and posted on Facebook, hibond was set at $175,000.

Thaishaun Hunter,  is facing several charges as well,  including promoting commercial sex abuse of a minor and leading organized crime, is also being held on a $175,000 bond. Because of the seriousness of the crimes, the brothers are being prosecuted as adults. The mother has not been charged as of yet.

All I have to say is wow. You not only get yourself in even more trouble but you drag your brother into it as well. The mother isn’t innocent either since she was using part of the money for bail. I’m expecting charges on her soon.
