Venoy Overton is an actual pimp ... SMDH?

How about this for a head scratcher.

Venoy Overton, who graduated on Saturday from the University of Washington with a degree in American Ethnic studies, is currently sitting in a jail cell in Kent Corrections Center outside Seattle after being arrested for a second degree Promoting Prostition charge. Promiting Prostitution is defined by the Washington State Legislature as profiting off of or advancing prostitution, with the second degree charge being a Class C felony punishable up to five years in prison.

In other words, Venoy Overton was arrested for being a pimp. Not a pimp in the high school sense of the word, making out with all of the popular girls. He was allegedly dropping girls off on the street and forcing them to perform sex acts for money:

In May, Kent Police contacted an 18-year-old woman on Pacific Highway South for prostitution, detectives said. She told them she was there because her boyfriend dropped her off and told her to perform sex acts for money. She said he had dropped her off there twice before, and said her boyfriend was Venoy Overton.

Detectives said the woman continued, telling them she had specific instructions on how much to charge, and what acts to perform. She said she gave some of the money she earned to Overton.

Come on, dude.

I mean, really?

You just graduated! You are still dealing with the accusations from back in January that you raped two 16 year old girls! If you have forgotten, Overton was never charged with rape, instead he plead out to a charge of supplying alcohol to minors; a charge he wouldn't have had to face if he was able to keep himself out of trouble for a year.

And now this.

I wonder if it is too late for the prosecutor's to hit him with that rape charge again.

UPDATE: Lorenzo Romar has released a statement on Overton: "I have been informed of the arrest of Venoy Overton and I am extremely disappointed. My staff and I spent an extraordinary amount of time and energy attempting to mentor Venoy prior to his recent graduation, so this news is especially troubling."
