Pimps Online Part II: Still Pimpin’
Just after I posted the first story I found this one. Same thing here: a 25-year-old man in New York City met a 13-year-old girl on MySpace. The perfect target, she was living in an out-of-state group home and looking for a way out. She eventually traveled to NYC to meet Jamaal Watkins, who then exploited the girl by having her work for him as a prostitute going on as many as 500 “dates” throughout November and December of last year.
While this doesn’t fit into the “where were the parents” case, due to the girls unfortunate situation, it is still sad nonetheless. Sad because on one hand we gave government law enforcement fighting crimes like this, and on another side we have government workers who can’t give the proper care to children entrusted in their hands. One hand is certainly feeding the other…
Anyway, parents, read this and learn from it. It may be your little girl next who befriends a stranger on MySpace and runs away to be with him… Use PC Pandora at home to know what your kids are doing online and who they are talking to…

DA: Queens man forced 14-year-old into prostitution
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSA Queens man is facing a 95-count indictment for allegedly promoting prostitution of a 14-year-old girl that he met on the social networking website Myspace and lured to New York.
Prosecutors say 25-year-old Jamaal Watkins exploited the girl by having her work for him as a prostitute going on as many as 500 “dates” during a two month period.
Authorities say Watkins met the girl online when she was 13-years-old and living in an out-of-state group home. The two apparently spoke often and Watkins frequently asked her to come to New York where he promised he would take care of her.
About a year after they first met online, the girl allegedly ran away from the group home and stayed with friends in New York until she met Watkins on Nov. 6, 2008. Prosecutors say the two had a sexual relationship.
Four days later, Watkins told the girl that she was going to make money and began setting up “dates” for her, prosecutors say. Watkins allegedly took pictures of the girl in lingerie and lewd clothing and posted the photographs on Craigslist.com Web site.
The girl went on 11 “dates” a day at various hotels and residences in Queens between Nov. 11, 2008 and Jan. 2, 2009 and performed sexual acts for money which she gave over to Watkins for providing her with food and clothing, District Attorney Richard Brown says.
Watkins was arrested on Jan. 3 a day after the girl was picked up by police at the Par Motor Inn where she had allegedly agreed to have sex with an undercover cop in exchange for money.
Watkins was arraigned Tuesday on a 95-count indictment charging him with crimes including rape and promoting prostitution.
He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted

this is good for him after what he did to my best friend. Karma is no joke. Always calling himself boy wonder and having young chicks pose for pics for him then he would post em on a site called crushspot. If the females were underage he would cover their eyes in the pic. he had a list of all the females he had sex with and who his next target(s) would be.
