U.S. Citizen charged
with Pimping and Child Pornography
Police, this week, detained a 52 year old U.S. Citizen
and a 23 year old Tico for allegedly pimping of minors
and producing child pornography. The Costa Rican was
released without charges.
The two men were detained by police in the North
America's home, where computer equipment and
pornographic photographs and a vehicle were also
confiscated. The North American is identified as James
Carl Kays, who is alleged to drive minors, ages 15-17,
to downtown San José, where they would prostitute
themselves.
The female victims, three Nicaraguans and two Costa
Ricans, allegedly lived in Kays' home and is alleged to
have handled the money the girls made. The young Costa
Rican man was allegedly employed by Kane to translate as
he reported not to be speak a word of Spanish.
A police source said that the U.S. suspect was very
cooperative with the police, but pretended he did not
know the girls were underage. Police reportedly found
photos of Kays posing with the girls.
Kays is spending the next three months in preventive
jail, as police continue the investigation. |
