A pair of aspiring Chicago rappers have allegedly been using violence and threats to force women into prostitution under their own sex trafficking ring, according to DNA Info Chicago.
Samuel Nichols, 30, and Charles Fears, 22 face charges of engaging in sex trafficking by force and fraud and coercion, the U.S. District Attorney’s Chicago office announced. The two are known in the Chi rap world as the Hit Squad and are facing a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life if convicted.
According to law enforcement, Nichols and Fears allegedly used Backpage.com to recruit women of various ages (even minors) to engage in the commercial sex business and would set up meetings to serve clients of the website. The duo would often use threats and abuse to make the women they coerced into the ring carry out their illegal business. One incident had a woman abused so badly she needed hospitalization for recovery.
A majority of Hit Squad’s business happened in the southern and western suburbs of Chicago. They received all the money made from the sex-for-sale endeavor. Both were arrested Friday (January 15).
I wonder if these dudes realized there already is a Hit Squad? Probably not.
To give clarification, there is no group called Hit Squad their signed to a label by the name of Hitsquad Empire Entetainment based in Chicago. And, as far as the label not buzzing or other artist not taking off do to the allegations, yes allegations, i guess you can see the future? The story is bad, true enough, but it kills me to see ppl speak fast on situations that they have no clue about. Advise, let the trail decide who’s in the wrong before any of you pre-judge someone. And the other artist that are on the label have nothing to do with these allegations so be specific about who you are commenting towards. Be blessed critics.
Actually they had the current rights to use the Hit Squad moniker! Goofy fuckers always comment on shit they Know nothing of! They are buzzing around Chicago and the rest of the group will blow because of this! There are still plenty of Squad members out here to represent!
Was that a reply to me? Couldn’t tell since you didn’t use the reply button. But anyway, it’s not hard to come up with an original name. Hit Squad will always be EPMD’s crew to me. And LOL at the rest of this “Hit Squad” blowing up because of other members facing time in the pen. Guarantee these dudes won’t last long.
You gotta hustle that pussy!
