Man charged with promoting prostitution, Human Trafficking
Description
CLARKSVILLE,TN: Feb 3, 2014

A traffic stop on Saturday led to a Knoxville man being charged with promoting prostitution, human trafficking and drug charges.

According to warrants, a Clarksville Police officer found a juvenile girl in a vehicle he stopped for speeding and learned she was a runaway from state custody.

The officer also learned that Rodger Lee Shealy Jr., 38, of Knoxville, had taken the girl to a foster home in Union County on Jan. 31, and some time later, had received money from the girl’s prostitution activities, a warrant said. It also indicated he allowed the girl access to drugs.

A drug agent then went to a room at a motel near Interstate 24 and asked Shealy if he could come inside to talk. The agent did a “walk-through” of the room and saw a rock-like substance in plain view. The substance tested positive for heroin, according to the warrant.

From the warrant, it was unclear who was driving the vehicle and the sequence of events.

Shealy is charged with promoting prostitution, human trafficking, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of a Schedule I drug (heroin) for resale and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond was set at $75,000.
