The 34-year-old rhymer, real name John Michael Hakeem Gibson, is accused of running a criminal enterprise that allegedly included rape and sex trafficking. Prosecutors also alleged that Cash Out used his record label to lure women into prostitution.<\/p>\n According to a 2023 re-indictment, prosecutors claimed Cash Out<\/a> led his alleged racketeering enterprise with violence and coercion by promising women financial opportunities and personal benefits within the company.<\/p>\n “Although now administratively dissolved, Cash Out used PMG (Pyrex Music Group, LLC), along with this brand name ‘Cash Out,’ to promote his music and the ‘Cash Out’ brand, and through the use of deception and then coercion, enticed and recruited women from social media platforms to engage in commercial sexual activity,” the re-indictment stated.<\/p>\n Cash Out was indicted in 2022<\/a> on multiple charges including rape, sex trafficking, aggravated sodomy and violating Georgia’s RICO Act.<\/a> Four other people have been indicted in the case: Linda Smith, also known as “Morenika Vinnie” and “Mama Ca$h Out”; Tyrone Taylor, also known as “Rooskie”; TKierra Danieele Adams, also known as “Boots”; and Demetrius Lamont Edwards, also known as “Drama.”<\/p>\n “The most troubling aspect of this case is that women have been victimized and brutalized within our community by people who had a chance to do something else with their lives,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis<\/a> told news outlet WSB-TV in 2022. “He’s a very talented musical performer. Unfortunately, he didn’t stay in that business, and he branched off to the business that finds him under indictment.”<\/p>\n Cash Out’s sex crimes trial is expected to last for several weeks and into July.<\/p>\n Check out 11 Alive News’ coverage of the Cash Out trial below.<\/p>\nJury Selection Begins in Cash Out’s Sex Crimes Trial<\/h3>\n
