The main question for me is "What the hell's on the mind of a person who would even think of doing something like that?" Why would Anthony Frazier think to do this, let alone do it? What's the point? Can't he create his own legitimate business without taking advantage of a young woman? Well, here's KTVU's account :
SAN FRANCISCO -- An East Bay man was in custody Thursday for allegedly kidnapping a young woman off an Oakland street and bringing her to San Francisco to work as a prostitute.
Anthony Frazier, 29, pleaded not guilty Thursday morning in San Francisco Superior Court to charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, human trafficking and abduction for prostitution, authorities said. If convicted, he could face several years in prison.
Frazier was arrested in the area of Bush and Larkin streets at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to police spokeswoman Sgt. Lyn Tomioka.
Tomioka said that earlier that night, Frazier had forced the 20-year-old woman into a car in Oakland and drove her to San Francisco to work as a prostitute.
Police spotted the woman on the street, "thought she was too young to be standing there alone," and stopped to check on her, Tomioka said.
"She described that (Frazier) had brought her to San Francisco to earn money for him, and he told her what he expected her to do, but she just stood there, and that's when police found her," Tomioka said.
The woman gave officers a description of the vehicle she was forced into and police detained Frazier nearby, Tomioka said. He was booked into jail on charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment and pimping.
