OAKLAND \u2014 Two 14-year-old girls were rescued in a neighborhood known for prostitution, hours after authorities say their suspected pimp sexually abused them at a nearby hotel, court records show.<\/p>\n
Now the suspect, 20-year-old Terrell Williams, has been charged with rape, unlawful sexual intercourse, pandering, human trafficking, and corporal injury to a child, court records show. He is being held in lieu of $256,000 bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin and has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
Police say they two girls ran away from their group home on Dec. 14, and ended up with Williams. He allegedly raped one of them at the Park Lane Hotel on MacArthur Boulevard, and later told the girl to go to \u201cwork\u201d on International Boulevard, a well-known open air sex market. Police stopped the girl around 4:20 p.m. on Dec. 15, for wearing scantily clad lingerie, and discovered her young age and runaway status, according to court records.<\/p>\n
The girl later told police that \u201cshe watched the same suspect have sexual intercourse with two other juvenile females,\u201d investigators said in court records. He also allegedly struck one of them with a charging cable during an argument.<\/p>\n
The charging records list two alleged victims, both 14. One of them texted the group home for help using a tablet, which was later found broken at the hotel, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Williams has prior convictions for domestic violence and making criminal threats, court records show. He was also investigated \u2014 but never charged \u2014 in two alleged sexual assault incidents last August, authorities said. In one of those incidents, the alleged victim claimed he told her that he had been \u201cpimping girls in Arizona and Las Vegas,\u201d which led to an argument, and an allegation that he raped her.<\/p>\n
Williams\u2019 preliminary hearing has been set for Jan. 6, court records show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 Two 14-year-old girls were rescued in a neighborhood known for prostitution, hours after authorities say their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[861,862,143,58149,863,145,12905,144,14347],"class_list":["post-107999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-bay-area-crime","tag-california-crime","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-child-trafficking","tag-oakland-crime","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-human-trafficking","tag-oakland-news","tag-oakland-sex-trafficking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
