NY- A Queens man charged with forcing a North Carolina college student into prostitution kept a "Pimp Rule Book" commanding her to "obey her daddy," prosecutors said yesterday.
Carlton (Privilege) Simons, 22, also allegedly lured the 18-year-old with promises to introduce her to rap celebrities such as East Side Boyz and P. Diddy, according to court papers.
"Instead ... her dream quickly disintegrated into a nightmare as she was assaulted, threatened with death and put to 'work' in the sex trade," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Simons allegedly met the student last month near a community college in Charlotte, N.C., where he befriended her, took her dancing and to movies and promised to care for her 10-month-old son, prosecutors said. He then introduced her to his co-defendant, Shernett (Divine) Reevey, and convinced her to move to New York and "date" men for $200 an hour without having sex.
But on Jan. 20, she was allegedly abused and forced to pose for pictures.
The woman was given the alias "Asia," and worked at a Holiday Inn Express in Jamaica, Queens, and in Manhattan as a streetwalker on E. 48th St.
On Jan. 25, the victim met an undercover cop at the hotel and told him her story. The "rule book," handwritten on three pages of loose-leaf paper, was taken as evidence. Both defendants pleaded not guilty last week and were ordered held without bail. "The girl was not coerced in any way, shape or form," said Simons' lawyer Daniel Liebersohn. Reevey's lawyer was not available.
