By Howard Ballou - bio email twitter. It's the Internet, but it didn't take long for law enforcement to catch on and crack down on two high-tech houses of prostitution. Hinds County Sheriff's Department investigators say one of them masqueraded as a strip club.
WLBT went with deputies on an eye opening sting operation. Hinds County Sheriff's investigators say she is also a prostitute and madam who operates out of a house on Langley Street in Jackson. In hidden camera video, you can see Howard preparing for sex with a "john" or customer, until she hears a knock on the door. A deputy said to Howard, "Almost 5 months pregnant, prostituting out of this house.
She replied, "Yes sir". We've been here on more than one occasion. The neighborhood watch folks have contacted us complaining about prostitution and drug activity at this location. Also arrested are year-old Patrice Conner, charged with prostitution and year-old Marcus Allen, charged with procuring prostitution. He's on probation for drug charges; only six months out of jail. Scott said, "Ok, when I first started in law enforcement, prostitution was done the old fashion way.
It was done on street corners. Well now, you fast forward to the 21st century and it's done online. That's right, online. Howard and Conner used a webpage to advertise their services. They called themselves "Chocolate Thunder and Vanilla.
Lieutenant Scott said, "Well, the Hinds County Sheriff's Department street crimes unit routinely monitors online websites and it's the new way of prostitution. Now, if you'll look at some of the websites, they will say that they accept donation; that they accept flowers in exchange for companionship.
