   MIAMI (AP) — A convicted pimp and his alleged accomplice are in   
   custody, accused of grooming an 18-year-old from central Florida   
   for prostitution, authorities said.   
      
   Saint Matthew Hopson, 32, and Atilia Cleto Thomas, 19, each face   
   charges that include felony human trafficking and forcing,   
   compelling and coercing someone to become a prostitute,   
   according to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. They were   
   arrested on Feb. 13.   
      
   An arrest report said that on Jan. 14, Hopson met the Lakeland   
   teen on Facebook Dating and began grooming her.   
      
   The next day, he drove to central Florida to meet her, and   
   brought her back with him to Miami, where they stayed in a   
   hotel, the Miami Herald reported.   
      
   They went shopping at Victoria’s Secret and Hopson had the teen   
   pose for photos in the clothes that he bought her, the report   
   said. Hopson then asked Thomas to post the pictures on an online   
   escort service under the title, “I’m new to the game.”   
      
   He told the girl that he managed an escort service, but the teen   
   didn’t know that she was being offered up on the escort site,   
   the Herald reported.   
      
   Prosecutors said Hopson told the teen that it was Thomas who   
   would be having sex with clients, but Thomas later asked the   
   teen to have sex with a client. According to the report, the   
   teen tried, but couldn’t.   
      
   Hopson also had sexual contact with the teen against her will,   
   prosecutors said.   
      
   She told him she didn’t want to be a prostitute and wanted to go   
   home, the report said. He then told her that he had just gotten   
   out of prison for human trafficking and kidnapping and would   
   kill her if she called police, the report said.   
      
   Hopson drove the teen back to Lakeland and dropped her off at a   
   church, the report said.   
      
   She reunited with her family and called police. Officers later   
   pulled him over when he left a hotel in Miami Springs. An arrest   
   report said a notebook in Hopson’s car had a handwritten list of   
   laws of being a “pimp.”   
      
   Hopson’s lengthy criminal history includes prostitution-related   
   arrests in multiple states. He served three years in Florida for   
   living off prostitution earnings, the Herald reported. He’s also   
   on probation in North Carolina.   
      
   Thomas and Hopson remained in jail in Miami on Friday. Their   
   court records didn’t list lawyers.
