The latest security-police news

 
ALEXANDRIA, Va. Oct 22 2011 – A Silver Spring, Md. man was sentenced to 11 years in prison for forcing a 16-year-old girl into prostitution, federal authorities said in an news release.

Cooper Kweme, 31, a former Wheaton Mall Security guard, met the girl on a social networking site and developed a relationship with her. He then took explicit pictures of her and posted them to his website, advertising her as a prostitute.

“From March to May 2011, Kweme prostituted the victim in northern Virginia and Maryland. When clients paid the teenage girl for sexual acts she performed, she turned over the money to Kweme, who would give her a percentage of the fee charged to the client,” officials said.

Kweme was arrested by the Arlington County Police Department on June 1, 2011.

After serving his prison sentence, Kweme will serve a term of five years on supervised release and be required to register as a sex offender, officials said.
