A Charlotte couple entered guilty pleas Tuesday on federal charges that they made three young girls engage in prostitution in Myrtle Beach.
The act in 2016 was an attempt to raise bond for the husband, 24-year-old Zerrell Ross Fuentes, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. Fuentes was in jail on hit-and-run and gun charges at the time, jail records show.
Fuentes admitted to recruiting the three victims over the phone while he was in jail, the release states.
His wife, 25-year-old Brianna Leshay Wright, then drove the girls to Myrtle Beach along with Fuentes' mother, Tanya Fuentes, according to the release. Wright posted online prostitution advertisements for the girls and provided her phone number to arrange meetings between the girls and customers.
