Two more suspected members of West Side Street Mobb have been convicted on state child prostitution charges in Seattle, WA:

Each was found guilty of prostituting children and conspiring with Street Mobb members to prostitute teen girls. King County prosecutors claimed each man pimped underage girls as part of a prostitution ring that's already garnered convictions against six members of the West Seattle-based gang. * * * Six other alleged members of the Street Mobb have been charged federally, and court documents indicate that federal prosecutors are considering filing racketteering indictments against gang members. * * * Credited by some with bringing the shadowy industry to light, the investigation and subsequent prosecutions -- referred to in federal court filings as "Operation Street Sweeper" -- centered on a street prostitution ring funding the Delridge neighborhood gang. Seattle and King County detectives identified a number of child prostitutes being worked by Street Mobb members, many of whom are teens themselves. Prosecutors note that Mobb is an acronym rather than a misspelling -- Money Over Broke Bitches -- highlighting the role prostitution plays in the gang. Beyond that, though, prosecutors claim members of the gang have been extensively involved in bank fraud, assaults and slayings.
