Two people appeared in Brown County Court Thursday, and deputies say they're being investigated for possible human trafficking.
Alexus Williams, 22, is charged with one count of Prostitution – Nonmarital Sexual Intercourse and Deon Barron, 24, faces one count of Solicitation of Prostitutes.
A juvenile girl was also arrested this week.
According to court documents, Alexus Williams was arrested twice in just a matter of hours after posting ads for sex on the website.
Deputies responded to the first ad and arrested Williams on July 10.
During this time, deputies say they checked the parking lot for those who might have been with Williams. They located a car with two men and a woman inside. One of the men was Deon Barron.
A 15-year-old juvenile was identified as the female in the car. She was taken to the Brown County Jail.
Documents also reveal, just a few hours later, deputies searched the same website and came across another ad. They believed it was Williams.
Undercover deputies set up another meeting.
According to the criminal complaint Deon Barron drove Williams the second meeting.
Officers then arrested both Barron and Williams.
When Williams spoke with investigators she told them she did not post the second ad, the 15-year-old juvenile did and said the girl was “basically her pimp".
Deon Barron told deputies Williams was his "sometimes" girlfriend and drove her to "dates". He also told investigators he used money from her alleged prostitution to buy food and gas.
Deputies say there were multiple sex ads posted from Williams’ phone throughout Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.
Thursday, Barron appeared in court saying he has changed since his previous convictions of battery and his $5,000 should be lowered.
“Yes I do have a background as far violence, but I’ve came a long way as far as working on my violence,” he told the judge. “I've also been out of prison for two years and some change. I’ve worked jobs, I have children now. This is not the type of thing I get into.”
However the judge did not agree.
Bond was set for Barron at $5,000 and Williams at $2,500. They cannot have contact with each other.
