A Texas mom of three who pleaded her innocence when her hubby was arrested for allegedly running a prostitution ring frequented by local cops is now accused of coaching women to sell their bodies out of the couple\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Ashley Ketcherside was arrested Wednesday on racketeering charges after her alleged involvement in her husband\u2019s purported prostitution enterprise was originally overlooked when he was arrested on April 8, Fox 4<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

But a wide-ranging investigation revealed she has two prior prostitution convictions herself and allegedly offered her X-rated services for $1,000 an hour, according to police.<\/p>\n

Ashley and Michael Ketcherside allegedly hosted members of the Godley Police Department and their spouses at their home, where they ran the ring for at least a decade. During the gatherings, Ashley could be found preparing another woman for prostitution, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n

But when Michael was apprehended, Ashley told Fox 4 <\/a>she was blindsided by the investigation and maintained her family\u2019s innocence.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Michael] is a great husband, an amazing father to my three kids, and I believe in the justice system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She flatly denied all accusations, including rumors that ex-Godley cop Solomon Omotoya paid her for sex, but added that she thinks \u201ctwo consenting adults should be allowed to do whatever it is that they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley claimed she was innocent in an interview with a local outlet. Facebook\/Ashley Ketcherside<\/p>\n

She also rejected suggestions that she may be a prostitute herself, despite her two previous convictions.<\/p>\n

When Omotoya was nabbed alongside Michael, he led investigators to former Godley Police Chief Matthew Cantrell, who revealed that Ashley charged $1,000 an hour for sex with her, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Those same rates were repeated in messages on Ashley\u2019s seized burner phone, the publication reported.<\/p>\n

Omotoya and Cantrell are also facing charges in connection with the sex ring. <\/p>\n

Outside of the ring, the group is also being probed for corruption.<\/p>\n

The Ketchersides and Cantrell allegedly amassed information on their \u201cadversaries,\u201d including members of the Godley City Council, the Godley ISD school board, and other Godley police officers, according to a news release<\/a> from the District Attorney\u2019s Office for Johnson & Somervell Counties.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Ashley was ousted from a Godley ISD committee that dictated the district\u2019s sex education curriculum when they were made aware of her prior prostitution convictions.<\/p>\n

Ashley also had active advertisements on escort websites while she was volunteering with other city organizations, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
