Chopper, a former star of MTV’s “Making The Band,” has been arrested for sex trafficking in Maryland. Authorities are accusing him of being a pimp.
After being arrested earlier this month, the ex- Da Band member was sent to Las Vegas to face the charges.
An undercover detective posing as a sex worker says Chopper DMed them on Instagram with an offer to make money through prostitution.
When the authorities searched his account, it revealed several posts related to prostitution and pimping, where he flaunted his wealth and made references to being a pimp. In one photo of him on a plane with a phone, the caption read: “Sending em,” using a money bag and crown emoji.
According to the documents, the undercover agent initiated an investigation into Chopper after noticing indications of a possible sex trafficking organization on social media.
In a phone call with the undercover detective, Chopper bragged about traveling and having seven homes across the country, including one in Las Vegas, while warning the undercover that Sin City was not a safe place to do business.
Soon after passing his test, the undercover agent said that Chopper welcomed them to the “team” and “stable.”
Afterward, the undercover officer stated that Chopper became aggressive and ordered them to pack their bags and head to the airport to join his “stable” in Charlotte, N.C. The officer stalled by saying they were too scared to leave home, so Chopper demanded a $2,000 fee to complete the trip.
According to the undercover agent, all social media posts, direct messages, phone calls, and fee demands are enough evidence to charge Chopper with felony sex trafficking.
