A 75-year-old resident of a New Jersey senior citizen housing complex is suspected of running a prostitution ring that employed some elderly residents as sex workers, NBC 4 New York has learned.

The suspect, James Parham, 75, was also accused, along with Cheryl Chaney, 66, of allowing residents and visitors to use crack in their apartments, police said.

Both are charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a nuisance, and Chaney is also charged with possession of crack cocaine.

In Parham's case, the nuisance charge relates to allowing prostitution in his apartment and in Chaney's case, it relates to allowing drug use in hers.

Englewood Police Chief Arthur O'Keefe told NBC 4 New York on Tuesday that Parham ran the prostitution ring through his apartments, and employed a mix of young women and older residents.

None of the alleged prostitutes were arrested.

O'Keefe says there was also sex and drug use going on in common areas of the complex, and that some seniors were afraid to venture into certain areas because they were afraid for their lives.

Richard Allaway, a resident, says he and others were aware of "a lot of nonsense going on."

A lack of security in the building is believed to have contributed to the problem.

Kevin Thomas, who has loved ones living in the complex, said he couldn't understand why older people were turning to crime.

"Why they wait so late in life to start doing stuff they should have did years ago, or shouldn't have touched period, why do you wait this late?" he said.

Information about attorneys for the suspects was not immediately available.

Another zero voter chimes in with absolute nonsense.

It's called "business", Kevin ... and the guy's 75 years old.

YOU should have the wherewithall to be successful at 75.

And Cheryl?

God bless ya, honey ... you apparently still have something goin' on.


We seasoned citizens have a different viewpoint of what is a crime ... deal with it.

We should give props to a successful criminal because he is 75?

When you can't get it up, and no one's lookin', you might make a phone call ...

Some people mature in righteousness through faith in Christ. Others further degenerate in unrighteousness and get even worse than their earlier life.

Some of the most degenerate people you might ever meet live in elderly complexes.

Isn’t it good to see that an elderly couple is trying to stay active and support themselves in their old age rather than just sitting in their rocking chairs!!!

There's a very old joke involving an elderly couple, and the wife decides to show her husband that she's still got some sex appeal, and goes out to work as a prostitute...she comes home the next morning....the punch line is as follows:

$14.25? Who gave you 25 cents?

EVERYBODY gave me 25 cents..
