2 charged in scheme to recruit prostitutes

SALEM -- They met her in a restaurant, told her she was "really cute," and offered her a chance to make easy money, police said. Within weeks, she was visiting a Salem apartment, watching videos about prostitution. And soon afterward, she found herself on a Boston street, using the name "Lovey" and getting into the car of a man who wanted to pay her for sex.

The allegations were outlined in Salem District Court yesterday after police arrested two men on charges that they recruited teenagers as young as 14 to be prostitutes, allegedly training them in a Salem apartment building filled with families and small children.

Usauf Baiden Glover, 23, of Salem, and Allen LJ Keeton, 22, of Las Vegas, pleaded not guilty yesterday to three counts of inducing a minor to prostitution. Keeton was charged in Salem and Glover in Lynn, where he also faces charges of statutory rape, disseminating obscene materials to a minor, and possession of marijuana.

Police say their investigation is not over, and hope it will lead them to prostitution arrests in Boston and elsewhere on the North Shore.

"The investigation is in such a state of flux right now, and in a sense it's almost just sort of getting underway," said Lieutenant Brian Gilligan, police prosecutor for the Salem Police Department.

Police said they discovered the Salem scheme on Sunday, when three girls, ages 14, 15, and 16, came to the police department with their mothers, telling stories of being instructed to perform sex in showers, video instructions, and botched attempts to work the streets of Boston.

They led police to an apartment in Loring Towers, a large brick building atop a Salem hillside, where police said they found pornographic magazines, financial records, videos, and a paperback book called "The Pimp's Bible."

School for prostitutes--and underaged ones at that. I'm sure Howie Carr will have fun with this today, as his (or Kerry's) nickname for Ta-ray-zuh is "Lovey"...

But you have it all wrong, they are not prostitutes, they are "Sex Workers". A new profession that holds lots of promise for young girls. [/dripping sarcasm]

"Police said they also found three bus tickets to Las Vegas,"

How incompetent were these "pimps", all they could afford were bus tickets?

One question (among others): Why HAVEN'T they arrested the girlfriend? She was part of the scheme...

Partial Lyrics
Lazyboy
"Underwear goes inside the pants"

The schools now: It is all about self-esteem in the schools now.

Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves.

If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who is going to dance in our strip clubs?

What's going to happen to our porno industry?

These women don't just grown on trees.

It takes lots of drunk dads missing dance recitals before you decide to b**w a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.
