(CBS/AP) McLEAN, Va. - Five alleged members of a street gang based in Virginia have been charged with running a prostitution ring that recruited high school girls who were threatened if they refused to participate.
The five, including accused leader Justin Strom, were charged in papers unsealed Thursday. According to an FBI affidavit, the defendants are members of a Fairfax County-based offshoot of the Crips street gang known as the Underground Gangster Crips.
Court documents state that the gang members recruited attractive teenage girls to participate either through Facebook or by approaching them on the street or at school. Several of the girls were allegedly either beaten or cut with a knife by Strom when they tried to quit or expressed reluctance about participating. Full Article
