Shoreline man charged with pimping a teen-aged girl

According to a story in our NewsPartner, The Seattle Times, Anthony Terry, 30, of Shoreline, was among the first to be charged in King County under enhanced legislation that increases prison sentences for those convicted of buying and selling sex with underage girls.

Terry was arrested for allegedly pimping out a woman in June. While he was in custody in King County Jail, prosecutors say, Terry instructed a then-17-year-old girl to continue prostituting to raise his bail money, according to court and jail records. The jail phone calls were recorded and Terry was rearrested during a sting in a July operation. He is being held on $500,000 bail.
