This sounds more like an episode of Atlanta than something that should be happening in Atlanta.
I can’t say that I am surprised, to be honest.
There are rappers out there that are just using rap as a front for their real illegal activities, and it appears Cash Out was one of those types of rappers.
When you read how many charges he has been hit with, you will wonder how long it will take Netflix to pick up the story.
It shouldn’t take long.
Here is a breakdown of everything he is accused of via WSB-TV in ATL.
A metro-Atlanta rapper was recently indicted on charges of rape, sex trafficking and is accused of luring women into prostitution.
Prosecutors said John Michael Hakeem Gibson, aka Cash Out, developed a criminal enterprise with a convincing story to lure the women.
“The most troubling aspect of this case is that women have been victimized and brutalized within our community by people who had a chance to do something else with their lives,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said.
The district attorney’s office said Cash Out used his celebrity status to push women into a life of prostitution.
“How many of these sex workers have been rescued?” Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne asked Fulton County deputy district attorney Earnell Winfrey.
“We’ve rescued two so far,” Winfrey said. “Some of these women are our most vulnerable women and he lured them in, let them believe that he cared about them and that he would take care of them, only to flip the script and then began to pimp them out.”
Winfrey says Cash Out is the figurehead of an organization at the focus of a 41-count indictment handed down in late March against him and five others.
Gibson also faces charged of keeping a place of prostitution at a home on Alfred Avenue NW and beating a second victim with a belt.
He will need to cash some money out if he is planning to beat these charges.
He is looking at 25 to life in jail.
