Eric Durell Chavis, known to the rap world as Thot King, was sentenced yesterday (September 27) to 15 years in prison for making child pornography with his music videos, according to NBC 4.
The 24-year-old Columbus rapper pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to produce child pornography for directing and editing sexually explicit rap videos. He posted the videos to social media, YouTube and at least one pornography site.
Thot King was arrested last August after authorities were informed that his videos featured three underage girls. One of the victims was a 17-year-old girl who said she was featured in a video when she was 16.
The victim, who is now 19, spoke with 10tv about her experience working with Chavis and said she contemplated suicide after being featured in his video. She says she participated in the shoot under the conditions she wouldn’t take her clothes off, but was coerced into doing so. Even though she says they didn’t perform sexual activities, the video is still illegal.
“My son was two when that happened to me. I was so afraid my son was going to see that I tried to end of my life,” she said.
She explains that the video dramatically altered her life.
“I was a straight A student,” she said. “I was going to school and I dropped out school because of it.”
Chavis will be under court supervision for 10 years once he has completed his time in prison and he will have to register as a sex offender.
let this be a lesson: don’t deal with THOTs. bitch probably said she was 18 and she did everything willingly. contemplating suicide? FOH. and now he’s being charged for producing child pornography? so there’s no difference between this and a dude raping a 10 year old? really?
You were a straight A student and not smart enough to know not to take your clothes off or not top participate in activities with a guy
name Thot king, the irony.
*pushes sarcasm button* I’m completely blown away by this “news”. How can a rapper named thot king br accused of exploiting an underaged girl? How? You’re welcome.
So this is justice?….smh
“My son was two when that happened to me. I was so afraid my son was going to see that I tried to end of my life,” she said. So She was 17 and had 2 year old son?? Are you kidding me?? Why she acting so innocent??
So, by your logic, if an under-18 teenager has a child, then she can be broadcast nude to the public? How does that make sense?
All you have to do if you want to get an underage girl naked is find one with a kid? And then you’re good?
Man, get your facts straight. He knowingly, over and over, purposed this girl as a sexual and nude entertainer. It doesn’t matter what she did in the past. Unless she’s 18, it’s his problem. Period.
Bitch plz you knew what was happening don’t play that I’m now the victim now
This is fucked up. A female teacher in my hometown sucked a 9th graders dick and got 3 months. ONLY 3 MONTHS!!! and this idiot gets 15 years for a music video?! That’s how you know our legal system is racist and corrupt
Then that means that woman should have been handed a harsher sentence, not that his punishment was too severe. It wasn’t JUST a video, downplay the crime. Unlike dude, she didn’t put on film and disseminate it.
straight a student? with a baby at 15?? she been takin her clothes off before she ran into him. and how we know she didnt lie about her age.
She already fucking at age with a baby and u get mad cause u in a video smh
…..what?
he need a good lawyer
It’s crazy how quick people are to defend this dirty mothafucka and/or blame that girl. If she was “coerced”, what that means is she was naked in that video by FORCE. That shit ain’t cool, not even a little bit. She had no business being there, ofcourse, and teenagers fuck up. But to say that it’s all her fault for everything that resulted is trifling dog. Y’all letting this slimy greasy dirty motherfucka off the hook a little too easy. I know y’all mothers raised y’all better than this lol. If your the thot King how hard is it to find thots that are of the legal age limit lmao.
I gave my cup of lean to a thot hoe
Why couldn’t this have been Tyga tho??
HE DINDU NUFFIN!!! #BLACKLIVESMATTER
Ill have you know that….”Thot King” is an upstanding member of the community, and these frivolous allegations are an attempt to hurt his “good character”
Here’s what I think happened; she willingly participated in the video. Didn’t anticipate getting naked, dude talked her into it with very little effort and after all the backlash she received from it being posted she got depressed and played the victim. Niggas need to realize stupid shit like this is why they be in a fuck situation. Make better decisions however, there’s a story of another person raping an unconscious person and get no jail time so I hardly call this justice. But I don’t feel sorry for dude but don’t think he deserves 15 years either. I smh at the situation tho bcuz niggas will let they dick get them fucked up!
age of consent is 16 years old in a ohio I’m kinda of lost. He should get like 2 years for recording a minor.
Fuck this stupid shitty site for labeling the article “ACCUSED OF CHILD PORN”. 9/10 people don’t even read the article they just go by the title so you’re basically misinforming tens of thousands of people into thinking this guy is raping kids and making movies about it. Instead of the fact that he accidentally featured an underage girl in a music video. You assholes are just as bad as the mainstream media. I hope you accidentally post a picture of a 17 year old girls tit in one of your articles so everyone can go “HIPHOPDX ACCUSED OF DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY”. Not saying what he did was right but fuck you guys for misrepresenting a person for clickbait you fucking vultures.
