ALL HAIL THE PIMP ROYALTY: NJ PIMP "PRINCE" SENTENCED

This story was brought to my attention recently because of the hilarious nature of the photos that were in the article. I was so busy laughing and asking "God why?" that it took me a good 10 minutes before I even read the article. I am sure that you are laughing too and have probably sent the link to a few friends, posted it on your facebook or blog and shared a few "Girl that's a mess, you see that" statements with your friends. What disturbed me about this piece of news was more than the photograph (I know bad right?).

The man in the photo is Allen E. Brown aka Prince a New Jersey pimp who was recently arrested and convicted on a laundry list of charges for human trafficking, prostitution, racketeering etc etc. Not only was he arrested but many of his family members were said to be in on the business too, including his mother Tecora Brown.  Ok wait, his mother? Yes his mother. [Insert SMH here] That makes me sad to no end! What if they had opened a legitimate legal family business, taking all their combined power, influence and opened something that the community could have been proud of? What could they have accomplished? I am sure there are many who will say it's all apart of the ghetto mentality and it speaks on a plethora of social and economic issues that face our world today - but that's a whole other blog for another day. I am happy that he did get sentenced and will be locked away for a long time, but will his mentality change? Will his conviction change the minds of the people, family and friends who worked with and for him change? Will they see why what they were doing was wrong? I can only hope and pray so.

On May 19, Jersey City pimp Allen E. Brown, aka "Prince", was sentenced to 18 years in prison for extortion and racketeering. Prince, with the aid of his mother Tecora Brown, ran a brutal prostitution and human trafficking ring:

Authorities say he enslaved women and girls, some as young at 17, and forced them to turn tricks on the streets. He even turned some into drug addicts, authorities say. Authorities say the woman were forced to earn $500 on weeknights and $1,000 on weekend nights, or else they were denied entry back into the house, were denied drugs or were beaten.
Assistant Attorney General, Annmarie Taggert said Brown extorted a $600,000 inheritance from a woman who turned over the money because the woman feared for her and her niece's lives. Taggert added that one woman who refused become a prostitute was handcuffed to a bed and forced to take heroin until she became addicted.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that, like every other criminal, Prince has a family member who insists he's got a good heart:


"It's all lies, " Veronica Brown said after the sentencing. She said her brother was trying to help the women who were already drug-addicted prostitutes.
