Atlanta pimp Kenndric Roberts, 33, will appear before a Fulton County, Georgia, judge on Thursday, March 9, 2017, at 11 a.m. to answer to false imprisonment and human trafficking charges.
According to police, a 20-year-old woman called 911 Tuesday morning asking for help getting out of a home located in the 100 block of Strauss Lane. “I’m in a very bad situation and I need to get out. It’s a house of full of girls and … if I try to leave, he’ll try to kill me,” the caller told the dispatcher.
He is accused of holding eight women, ranging in ages 19 to 23, against their will inside a multimillion-dollar home in Sandy Springs that he was reportedly renting. The upscale city’s police department requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s assistance in the investigation.
The caller also told the dispatcher, “When I came here, it was like a situation where you come and you work and you have girls dance. And the girls make money from dancing, and then …Yeah, I haven’t started yet. I just got here. I’ve been here for about a month, and he had me go get, like, plastic surgery. And he [unintelligible], and I just can’t stay.”
According to Atlanta’s FOX 5, the 6,800-square-foot house where the women were found is located in a gated community, and last sold for $1.2 million. And, “neighbors said they noticed lots of luxury cars and people going in and out, but they never suspected anything as heartbreaking as this.”
They met Roberts on the website, Seeking Arrangements. Four of the women are receiving victims’ assistance; the others have returned to their homes or are staying with friends.
