‘Security guard for prostitutes’ beat three victims with 2-by-4, holding one captive for a week, prosecutors claim
CWBChicago ^ | 5/10/16 | Tim Hecke

Posted on 05/10/2026 1:58:00 PM PDT by CFW

A Chicago man who told investigators he works as a security guard for prostitutes chained a customer to a metal pole in a basement apartment for a week, forced him to liquidate his stock portfolio and withdraw more than $32,000 in cash from two banks, then beat him so severely he suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung, according to prosecutors.

While the victim was confined in the apartment, one of the assailant’s sex workers, who was also allegedly beaten with a two-by-four while locked in the basement, assured the victim he would get used to the attacks, prosecutors said.

Dionte Young allegedly carried out those attacks and a third beating with a two-by-four while on felony pretrial release, making him the sixth person accused of killing or trying to kill someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony.

“Security guard for prostitutes.”

Never heard a pimp called “a security guard for prostitutes” before.

Dionte doesn't seem to be very clear on the "security guard" concept.

Dionte Young allegedly carried out those attacks and a third beating with a two-by-four while on felony pretrial release, making him the sixth person accused of killing or trying to kill someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony.

The allegations involve three victims over roughly five weeks, all connected to a basement apartment in the 3900 block of West Flournoy Street from which Young allegedly operated as a base for a sex work operation on the city’s West Side.”
