Terrence Rogers, a.k.a., Aura, 33, is accused of recruiting multiple victims, including three teenage girls aged 15 to 17, to engage in prostitution earlier this year. He was arrested on July 3 at his Bushwick apartment following an undercover sting operation.
Rogers' cousin, 28-year-old Vashorne McClain, was also charged after prosecutors accused him of allegedly acting as his cousin's driver who transported several women to the Halsey Street apartment to engage in prostitution, including the 15-year-old victim.
"These defendants allegedly exploited three teenage girls, recruiting them to repeatedly engage in prostitution," said DA Eric Gonzalez. "I am deeply committed to bringing to justice individuals who prey on vulnerable young people in Brooklyn, and we will now seek to hold these two defendants accountable."
Rogers allegedly recruited a 15-year-old girl to engage in prostitution at his Halsey Street apartment in Bushwick, between March 9 and April 12, after she was introduced to him by a classmate who was also involved in prostitution for the 33-year-old.
