A Cobb County Grand Jury has returned a 16-count indictment against a man accused of enticing three girls for sexual servitude, the state Attorney General said Friday.
Prosecutors say Khiry Deshun Price recruited victims, some as young as 14-years-old, to sell for sex. He was indicted on charges including trafficking, pimping, aggravated child molestation, statutory rape, pandering, enticing children and battery, Attorney General Sam Olens said.
Price, of Atlanta, took three girls to a Super 8 Motel on Six Flags Drive in Austell in December 13, according to prosecutors. He would allegedly advertise for their services and have potential buyers come to the hotel.
“He had sex with some of the younger ones, he also struck two of them,” Camila Wright, prosecutor with the Georgia Attorney General’s Office, told Channel 2 Action News.
Wright said alleged pimps recruit girls right off the streets of metro Atlanta.
“There are pimps, that will go up to girls in mall and say you have beautiful eyes,” Wright said. “They really are master manipulators and they really just find the girls in need.”
Price is also facing similar charges out of Fulton County, where he was being held Friday afternoon in the Fulton County jail.
